VBA Excel- Get Cell value and associated rows into another worksheet based on User Input - excel

Question

All-
I'm very new to VBA and I really need help. I have a worksheet called Sheet 1 that looks like this (This is where the data will be copied from)
and another sheet (Sheet2) that looks like this (this is where the data will be copied to). Notice that the order is not the same as above
When a user types in a place such as "Paris" I want it to copy all corresponding values with "Paris" and it's associated rows. So the end result should look like this
Here is the code I have so far. Right now I can pull all the corresponding values based on the Users input, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the associated rows. Please help! Any input will be highly appreciated.
Dim x As String
Dim K As Long
Dim ct As Variant
Dim r As Range
Dim w1 As Worksheet
Dim w2 As Worksheet
Set w1 = Sheets("Sheet1")
Set w2 = Sheets("Sheet2")
a = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
x = Application.InputBox("Please Enter Place")
w1.Activate
K = 3
For Each r In Intersect(Range("C3:C3" & a), ActiveSheet.UsedRange)
ct = r.Value
If InStr(ct, x) > 0 And ct <> "" Then
r.Copy w2.Cells(K, 1)
K = K + 1
w2.Activate
End If
Next r
End Sub

Assign the entire range to an array for quicker looping, then once the array finds a match to your inputstring, rewrite the values to your 2nd sheet.
Sub test()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, wsArr()
set ws1 = thisworkbook.worksheets("Sheet1")
set ws2 = thisworkbook.worksheets("Sheet2")
With ws1
wsArr = .Range(.Cells(3, 1), .Cells(LastRow(ws1), 4)).Value
End With
Dim findStr As String
findStr = InputBox("Please Enter Place")
Dim i As Long, r as long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ws2
.Range("A3:D3").Value = array("Place", "Name", "Thing", "Animal")
For i = LBound(wsArr) To UBound(wsArr)
If wsArr(i, 3) = findStr Then
r = LastRow(ws2) + 1
.Cells(r, 1) = wsArr(i, 3)
.Cells(r, 2) = wsArr(i, 1)
.Cells(r, 3) = wsArr(i, 2)
.Cells(r, 4) = wsArr(i, 4)
End If
Next
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Function LastRow(ByVal ws As Worksheet, Optional ByVal col As Variant = 1) As Long
With ws
LastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, col).End(xlUp).Row
End With
End Function
For even better performance, consider doing a COUNTIF() to get the count of the number of findStr occurances in your range - that way you can use this value to ReDim a new array in order to write the matches there, then write the array to Sheet2 all at once.
