1) In K2 put the word "KEY"
2) In K3 put this helper formula, then copy down as far as needed:
=ISNUMBER(MATCH("*" & $E$2 & "*", F6:H6, 0))
3) Right-click on the tab name and select VIEW CODE to open the VBA editor
4) Paste in this event macro to the sheet module that appears:
Read through the code until it starts to become obvious what each line of code is doing. We are essentially applying a new Autofilter to column K anytime cell E2 is edited, the Autofilter is showing all the rows that currently show "TRUE" in that column, meaning the key word was found on that row.
Now that the macro is installed and functioning, you could hide column K if you wish to make what is happening look like magic.
