Answer : Search function in Excel also in Access?

There is no way to search multiple columns in MS Access.  What you do have is the LIKE operator and the % wild card.

So for each column in the query enter a criteria of
like "%data%"

The "data" in this instance is the data that you are searching for.  The beginning and ending % is optional.
