the online docu for Calc (at least the German docu) shows only which result is returned by a function if the function is successfull e.g. SEARCH("Text"; "Search Text") returns 8 but what is return if SEARCH fails e.g. SEARCH("MyText"; "Search Text") Further the online docu for Calc does not show information for SUCHEN.
not os x specific, setting to "all"
Confirmed in English help that FIND and SEARCH don't specify what is returned if the given parameter isn't found. Axel, is there any other function where such information is missing? I found the help page for SUCHEN, what kind of documentation were you looking for?

Let's resurrect this documentation issue, as it has never been fixed. The report is about FIND/SEARCH, but other functions could be affected as well. https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Text_Functions#FIND https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Text_Functions#SEARCH
Olivier, could you please check is this problem in our Help?
SEARCH https://help.libreoffice.org/master/en-US/text/scalc/01/04060110.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3151005 FIND https://help.libreoffice.org/master/en-US/text/scalc/01/04060110.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3152589 Note: in the Calc function help pages, we don't describe the situation of bad inputs or bad data. In the case of comment#0 example (SEARCH("MyText"; "Search Text")), Calc returns #VALUE (no value). => NOTABUG
Thank you, Olivier. Clised as NB
