I'm wanting to search two columns for the string in TextBoxSearchItemList.text. then put these values into another list position.

as you can see here ive made a raw idea of what im trying to do but i think im trying the wrong method.

any help would be appreciated.

Ive tried to search for the TextBoxSearchItemList.text anywhere in the string using * each end but i dont know how to use it to well.



Code:
Private Sub TextBoxSearchItemList_Change()
Dim CurrentSearchCell As Range
Dim CurrentFilteredListCell As Range
Dim Check1 As Boolean

'Filter available Parts
Set CurrentSearchCell = Range("PartDescriptions").Offset(1, 0)
Set CurrentFilteredListCell = Range("FilteredItemsStart")
SearchString1 = CurrentSearchCell.Text & " " & CurrentSearchCell.Offset(1, 0).Text
SearchString2 = TextBoxSearchItemList
Do
Check1 = SearchString1 Like "*" & SearchString2 & "*"
If Check1 = True And Not TextBoxSearchItemList = Empty Then
CurrentFilteredListCell = CurrentSearchCell
CurrentFilteredListCell.Offset(0, 1) = CurrentSearchCell.Offset(0, 1)
Set CurrentFilteredListCell = CurrentFilteredListCell.Offset(1, 0)
Set CurrentSearchCell = CurrentSearchCell.Offset(1, 0)
Else
Set CurrentSearchCell = CurrentSearchCell.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Loop Until CurrentSearchCell = Empty

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Sorry Code i intended to post was

Code:
Private Sub TextBoxSearchItemList_Change()
Dim CurrentSearchCell As Range
Dim CurrentFilteredListCell As Range
Dim Check1 As Boolean
Dim SearchString1 As String
Dim SearchString2 As String
 
If TextBoxSearchItemList = Empty Then Exit Sub
'Filter available Parts
Set CurrentSearchCell = Range("PartDescriptions").Offset(1, 0)
Set CurrentFilteredListCell = Range("FilteredItemsStart")
SearchString1 = CurrentSearchCell.Text & " " & CurrentSearchCell.Offset(1, 0).Text
SearchString2 = "*" & TextBoxSearchItemList & "*"
Do
Check1 = SearchString1 Like SearchString2
If Check1 = True Then
CurrentFilteredListCell = CurrentSearchCell
CurrentFilteredListCell.Offset(0, 1) = CurrentSearchCell.Offset(0, 1)
Set CurrentFilteredListCell = CurrentFilteredListCell.Offset(1, 0)
Set CurrentSearchCell = CurrentSearchCell.Offset(1, 0)
SearchString1 = CurrentSearchCell.Text & " " & CurrentSearchCell.Offset(1, 0).Text
Else
Set CurrentSearchCell = CurrentSearchCell.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Loop Until CurrentSearchCell = Empty
 
End Sub
