How do I search Smartsheets?

Short answer: You can smartsheet search in Smartsheet by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Smartsheet Smartsheet Search action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

What does the Smartsheet Search action do in Smartsheet?
Cross-sheet full-text search. Returns matching cells with sheet ID and row reference. For "find this customer's record across all sheets" patterns.
What inputs does Smartsheet Search require?
Required: Query. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
