I started noticing that the search within Excel only searches within the
first 1024 characters within a cell. It's a wicked bug and sort of
non-intuitive because if it will let you put more than 1024 characters in a
cell it should be able to come back later and find (via the search) any
character in the cell. When you search a spreadsheet for something and it
comes back and says quot;not foundquot; you really believe it's not there, when in
fact it might be there in some cell, just past the first 1024 characters
within the cell.
