<pre>Description:
Apologies if this has been requested already, since it's such a basic feature,
but searched have yielded nothing relevant[1].
Consider this sheet:
A1: foo
A2: bar
A3: ...
...
A181: =A1
Searching for "foo" will only find A1, but not A181. Excel has had this option
since I can remember (MS Office 2003): "Look in formulas/values/comments". In
Calc, it appears impossible to look in anything but formulas.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a sheet where A1 contains "foo" and A2 is "=A1".
2. Add a comment to A2, "foo".
2. Search for "foo".
Actual Results:
Only A1 is found.
Expected Results:
A1 and A2 should be found, if the user wishes to search in values or comments,
as opposed to searching only in formulas.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Basic feature in Excel.</pre>
