I am trying to set up a search box and I am using the code below for a macro from this site (How To Create A Filtering Search Box For Your Excel Data — TheSpreadsheetGuru) . It works fine but I need the search results to include the cell from two rows above and four rows above each search result to show as well as they have details (name and date) belonging to the search result (see attached picture) I am a complete VBA novice so all help greatly appreciated. If you are kind enough to reply please can it be idiot proof! thank you.

Sub SearchBox()
'PURPOSE: Filter Data on User-Determined Column & Text
'SOURCE: www.TheSpreadsheetGuru.com

Dim myButton As OptionButton
Dim MyVal As Long
Dim ButtonName As String
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim myField As Long
Dim DataRange As Range
Dim mySearch As Variant

'Load Sheet into A Variable
Set sht = ActiveSheet

'Unfilter Data (if necessary)
On Error Resume Next
sht.ShowAllData
On Error GoTo 0

'Filtered Data Range (include column heading cells)
Set DataRange = sht.Range("E7:E300") 'Cell Range
'Set DataRange = sht.ListObjects("Table1").Range 'Table

'Retrieve User's Search Input
mySearch = sht.Range("F2").Value 'Cell Input

'Loop Through Option Buttons
For Each myButton In ActiveSheet.OptionButtons
If myButton.Value = 1 Then
ButtonName = myButton.Text
Exit For
End If
Next myButton

'Determine Filter Field
On Error GoTo HeadingNotFound
myField = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(ButtonName, DataRange.Rows(1), 0)
On Error GoTo 0

'Filter Data
DataRange.AutoFilter _
Field:=myField, _
Criteria1:="=*" & mySearch & "*", _
Operator:=xlAnd

'Clear Search Field
sht.Shapes("Search").TextFrame.Characters.Text = "" 'Control Form

Exit Sub

'ERROR HANDLERS
HeadingNotFound:
MsgBox "The column heading [" & ButtonName & "] was not found in cells " & DataRange.Rows(1).Address & ". " & _
vbNewLine & "Please check for possible typos.", vbCritical, "Header Name Not Found!"

End Sub
