I have a cell that contains a text as part of the cell. When I do a "Text" search (using Microstation's explorer advance search) for the string within the cell, it does not return a result. I believe its because the text is treated as part of the cell and since it's searching for "Text" and not "Cells", it wont work. When searching for "Cells" there is no text element I can select so this doesn't work either. I want to be able to use search to find all instances of this cell, how can I get this to work?
if you know the cell name after you found one you can use the select by attributes tool to find them all in a selection... then next step depends what you want to do with or to them

The cells are not named. However, turns out advance search does work. There's a display issue that led me to believe otherwise. An element must be selected before highlighting the search results. If not, text elements within cells will not display. This led me to believe they were not returning as results. Not sure if this is a bug or if it's been fixed. FYI, I'm on version 14.
