As the title explains This code below works well enough if two variables x and y from two different textboxes are used:
Code:
    Dim wsSource As Worksheet
    Dim wsTarget As Worksheet
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim targetRow, lastrow As Long
    Dim x, y As String
   x = Textbox9.Value
   y = Textbox10.Value
    Set wsSource = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Source") ' Change to your source sheet name
     Sheets("Result").UsedRange.ClearContents
    Set wsTarget = Sheets("Result") 'ThisWorkbook.Sheets.Add ' Creates a new sheet for the filtered data
    targetRow = 1 ' Initialize the target row
    For Each cell In wsSource.Range("E1:E31103")      'UsedRange
        If InStr(1, cell.Value, x, vbTextCompare) > 0 And InStr(1, cell.Value, y, vbTextCompare) > 0 Then
           cell.EntireRow.Copy wsTarget.Cells(targetRow, 1)
            targetRow = targetRow + 1
       End If
    Next cell
    MsgBox "Filtered data copied to Result sheet"
    lastrow = Sheets("Result").Range("B" & rows.count).End(xlUp).Row
    Me.TextBox3.Value = ListBox2.ListIndex + 1
    Me.TextBox4.Value = lastrow
    Sheets("Result").Range("H1").Value = lastrow
End Sub
[/ccode]

This line looks for the two variable values x and y from two different textboxes, Textbox9 and Textbox10.
[code]
If InStr(1, cell.Value, x, vbTextCompare) > 0 And InStr(1, cell.Value, y, vbTextCompare) > 0 Then...
I don't want two textboxes. I want to be able to type both values in one textbox
such as
Code:
x = Textbox1.value if Textbox1.value = "sun [and] moon" , OR "green [and] tree"
and give the same result as having each value  in two separate textboxes
I'm having a tough time figuring out how to change the InStr code line to do that 

Any help would be appreciated.

...one more thing. The beauty about this revised code is that will also find just about any word form:
In case you haven't guessed, this is a Bible application. Any search to find words or phrases has to be done
over 31,103 rows of verse text across 4 columns. The button stays depressed for quite while. Anyway, all I'll ever need to do in any search is
type in Textbox1 any of these forms. I did and the new code found them all:

"sun dark" - any two words that has text between, before or after them.
"last days" - any single phrase
"Isaiah 65:" - any Book, chapter
"Matthew 24:15" - any Book, chapter and verse

...without quotes, of course.

Thanks again, dreid1011
