    conditional formatting: cell contains text?

    Is it possible to do a conditional formatting command on a Text cell, with the condition that:

    if the cell contains text "searchterm"

    then the conditional format takes place?

    Use conditional formula: =Isnumber(Search("searchterm",A1))


    where A1 is the cell to format
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
