Search two words at once - excel

Question

I can search two words for example: LED LIGHT.
I want to search at once "LED LIGHT" or "LIGHT LED" no matter where "LED" or "LIGHT" is within the text.
Replacing the "space" between the words with wildcard "*" does help searching "LED LIGHT" regardless of the words position in text, but would not search in reverse "LIGHT LED".

Dim firstWord As String

End If

I'm afraid your intention is only partially clear. Therefore my solution below consists of two unconnected parts. In the first part the user enters 3 search words and a record is made in Sheet1 of what was entered. In the second part, the function inaptly named ReplaceText, a cell is looked for that contains all the words the user entered. Note that "" will be found in every cell. Therefore, if the user entered blanks they will have no effect on the search. What will have an effect is that "LED Lighting" will be found if "LED Light" was looked for. Please bear that in mind.
Sub Test_Replace()
' 010
Dim searchWord(1 To 3) As String
Dim Clm As Long
Dim C As Long
Dim i As Integer
searchWord(1) = InputBox("Enter word for bullet_points", "Keyword BOX")
searchWord(2) = InputBox("Enter word for item_name", "Keyword BOX")
searchWord(3) = InputBox("Enter word for product_description", "Keyword BOX")
Clm = 2 ' first column to replace
With Sheet1
For C = 8 To 10
i = i + 1
If Len(searchWord(i)) = 0 Then searchWord(i) = "No INPUT"
.Cells(.Rows.Count, C).End(xlUp).Offset(1).Value = searchWord(i)
Clm = Clm + 1
Next C
' If firstWord <> "" Then ReplaceText Ws.Range("B17:B4001"), firstWord
' If secondWord <> "" Then ReplaceText Ws.Range("C17:C4001"), secondWord
' If thirdWord <> "" Then ReplaceText Ws.Range("D17:D4001"), thirdWord
End With
End Sub
Private Function ReplaceText(Rng As Range, _
searchWord() As String) As boolean
Dim Fnd As Range
Dim FndVal As String
Dim i As Integer
Set Fnd = Rng.Find(What:=searchWord(3), LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False)
If Not Fnd Is Nothing Then
Do Until Fnd Is Nothing
FndVal = Fnd.Value
' compare case-insensitive
For i = 2 To 1 Step -1
If InStr(1, FndVal, searchWord(i), vbTextCompare) = 0 Then Exit For
Next i
If i = 0 Then
Set Rng = Fnd
ReplaceText = True
Exit Do
End If
Set Fnd = Rng.FindNext(Fnd)
Loop
End If
End Function
In the first procedure the difference between my code and yours is in the replacement of the ActiveSheet with Sheet1. Observe that the variable Clm is set up to pass the range "B17:B4001", C and D, perhaps in the loop, but I didn't manage to logically connect this.
The function looks for the 3rd word first. If that is a blank the search can take a long time because every cell in the searched range qualifies. If searchWord(3) is found the code will look for (2) and (1) and return the cell as the result if all three are found. Else the function will look for the next pre-qualified cell. You can refine the qualifying process to make sure that Delight will not be mistaken for Light.
The function returns True or False, depending upon whether a match was found. If the answer is True the Rng variable passed to it as argument will contain the address of where the match was found. Here is the function call I used in my tests.
Private Sub TestFind()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim Sw() As String
Sw = Split(" One Two Three")
Set Rng = Range("A2:A25")
Debug.Print ReplaceText(Rng, Sw), Rng.Address
End Sub
If the function returned False Rng.Address will be "A2:A25"
