No, the "start position" in =FIND() is not the position of the text you are
looking for (why would you need to find it if you know where it is?), it just allows you to start looking in a different position. If you are searching the entire cell, just leave it out. for example: A1 = "look for this text" =FIND("this",a1) will result in 10, because what you are looking starts at the 10th character.
