Sergey, I am copying you so that you know that I am more widely
distributing your question.
Is it possible to search a Calc document and find comments?
I tried this recently using LO 4.4.1.2, and I cannot find text in a
comment using the GUI.
To my knowledge this search has always worked in OpenOffice using the
API. I was sent this Java code
= BEGIN INSERT
XSpreadsheet sheet = (XSpreadsheet) iaSheets.getByIndex(_curSheet).Value;
XSearchable xSch = (XSearchable) sheet;
XSearchDescriptor xSchDr =
xSch.createSearchDescriptor();
xSchDr.setSearchString(searchStr);
xSchDr.setPropertyValue("SearchType", new
Any((short)2)); // 2- For cooment
xSchDr.setPropertyValue("SearchWords", new Any(false));
xSchDr.setPropertyValue("SearchByRow", new Any(true));
XCell xRangeCurrent = xSch.findFirst(xSchDr) as XCell;
Search with parameter SearchType = 0 works, and with the parameter
SearchType = 2 is not working.
Method findFirst always returns null. What am I doing wrong? Or what
you can give advice to remedy this situation?
= END INSERT
I looked around and found this mentioned specifically as it relates to
OpenOffice by Mr. Marcelly way back in 2006.

It is not clear to me that this ever worked in LO, but, if it is
mentioned back in 2006, I assume that it probably did initially and that
the functionality was removed (intentionally or accidentally) from LO.
Here is my corresponding Macro in Basic that demonstrates the problem.
Sub SearchSheet
Dim oSheet 'Sheet in which to replace
Dim oSearch
Dim x
oSheet = ThisComponent.Sheets(0)
oSearch = oSheet.createSearchDescriptor()
oSearch.setSearchString("comment")
oSearch.setPropertyValue("SearchType", 2)
x = oSheet.findFirst(oSearch)
End Sub
