Only one problem for the moment: if you write "nironsoft" it will find, but if you write "Nironsoft" it will not find But I will change that... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This isn't a search engine at all. It's a loop to scan through a listbox control. And as Andrew said, it's a poor way to do it, use SendMessage() and it finds it almost instantly. If you don't want the "search" to be case-sensitive, use LCase$() or UCase$() to compare the current item with the current search query. Ie: If LCase$(List1.List(1)) = LCase$(Text1.Text) Then MsgBox "Found" (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
It is so helpful. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
