Using VBA to search multiple Excel workbooks in folder

[RickWright]

Hi folks.

I have found a spreadsheet which can search on different criteria over multiple spreadsheets.

I am looking for one which can search on say 3 criteria as in "OSD" "LIV" & "ENT" and it will identify that it is in a sheet as below.

Problem is, it will identify all three search criteria even if they are in different rows. Is there any way to force it to match all criteria in a row?
