Created attachment 115169 [details] Small spreadsheet to reproduce the problem. Download and open the attached document Click on sheet1 Position the cursor on a blank cell in column c. Note the line number. Enter some data in the cell. control f to bring up the search menu. Click the icon to go to full search Make sure search entire document is checked. Enter "sam" in the search window and start the search. The data you entered will be moved from the cell on sheet1 to the same cell on the sheet where the string is found. +++ Click on sheet1 Position the cursor on a blank cell in column c. Note the line number. Enter some data in the cell. Click on another cell, then double click back into the cell you modified. Add something to the cell. control F to bring up the search menu. Make sure search entire document is checked. Enter sam in the search window and start the search. The data you entered will be copied from the cell on sheet1 to the same cell on the sheet where the string is found. This was originally reported in Open Office in May of 2010. It is a data corruption bug and should receive more attention than it has. Detection of the problem is difficult because users may not realize that row 1000 of their spreadsheet was overlaid because the search stopped at row 500. It took me months to recognize how this was happening. I noticed with 4.4.2.2-4.fc22 (Fedora 22 Beta) that the data in the source cell disappears now as well. The bug is worse then when I originally discovered it. Workaround. Click out of the cell being modified before initiating the search dialogue.
I can confirm with LO 4.2.2, win7. Dataloss, this silently rewrite data. please could you post link from AOO bugzilla? Thank you.

Confirmed using the attached bugtest.ods spreadsheet. Modified a cell on sheet one. From the modified cell searched for "hive" Data from the starting cell was copied into the same line on sheet three. Please fix this. It's nearly invisible data corruption that users may not see for days. It took me a year to narrow down what was happening.
PS: Using the following version on Fedora 24 now. Version: 5.1.5.2 Build ID: 5.1.5.2-6.fc24
