    Searchable drop down list

    Hello,

    First time on this forum and looking for some expertise

    I have a workbook with 2 tabs, a Search tab and a Master tab. I'm looking to have a searchable drop down list in the Search tab.

    Ideally in the Search tab when I enter a value in cell A2 example "remote", all the values containing "remote" in column D of the "Master" tab will show up in the search cell allowing me to select the specific word I want.

    Hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Try the attached - see if it works for you - no on-sheet formula or data validation or conditional formatting - all in simple macro/VBA in sheet module.
