Hello,
I have found in one of your threads the following vba code to search a worksheet using an input box. It works great.
I was not wandering how to highlight in yellow the search result.

Thank you

VBA Code:
Sub Search()
    Dim fnd         As String
    Dim FoundCell   As Range
    Dim Ws          As Worksheet
   
    Do
        fnd = InputBox("Enter the SSN or any part of text you want to search")
        'cancel pressed
        If StrPtr(fnd) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Loop Until Len(fnd) > 0
   
    For Each Ws In Worksheets
        Set FoundCell = Ws.UsedRange.Find(fnd, , xlValues, xlPart, , , False, , False)
      
             
        If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
            Ws.Activate
            FoundCell.Select
           
          
            Exit Sub
        End If
       
    Next Ws


End Sub

When posting vba code in the forum, please use the available code tags. It makes your code much easier to read/debug & copy. My signature block below has more details. I have added the tags for you this time. 😊

Try this

VBA Code:
Sub Search_v2()
    Dim fnd         As String
    Dim FoundCell   As Range
    Dim Ws          As Worksheet
   
    Do
        fnd = InputBox("Enter the SSN or any part of text you want to search")
        'cancel pressed
        If StrPtr(fnd) = 0 Then Exit Sub
    Loop Until Len(fnd) > 0
   
    For Each Ws In Worksheets
        Set FoundCell = Ws.UsedRange.Find(fnd, , xlValues, xlPart, , , False, , False)
      
        If Not FoundCell Is Nothing Then
            Ws.Activate
            FoundCell.Interior.Color = vbYellow
            Exit Sub
        End If
       
    Next Ws
End Sub
