I need a formula to search through a column and find the text "ACCOUNT".
Possibly print TRUE in the adjacent column.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You could use a formula like:
=isnumber(search("account",a1))
and drag down the column.
True means it found it. False means nope.

If you want to search in column A, for instance, copy this formula into
cell B1
=IF(FIND("Account",A1,1)>0,TRUE,FALSE)
and copy it to remaining cells in column A.
And one of the differences between DaveO's response and mine is that I used
=search() and DaveO used =Find().
=search() is not case sensitive Account, ACCouNT, AccoUnt, account would all be
accounted for <bg>.
DaveO used =find(). That is case sensitive. He'll only find Account.
What you use will depend on what you really want.
