How to search in Google Sheets
The fastest way to search in Google Sheets is to use a shortcut.
1. Open up the Google Sheet you'd like to search in.
2. If you're on Windows, use CTRL + F. On a Mac? Use Command + F.
3. In the top-right corner, a small search field should appear. Type in your search query and you should find what you need in no time.
4. If you prefer a more labyrinthine method (not sure why you would, but I'll play along), you can head to Edit > Find and replace.
5. Type in your search query, select This Sheet in the drop-down menu, and click on Find.
That's all there is to it, enjoy your newfound Sheets searching skills.
