Bug in Find text matches within a range

[jkpieterse]

It appears the example has a bug, it always searches for “Groceries”, whatever value one enters in the text-box.

If I change this:

searchRange.find($("#searchText").text(), {

to

searchRange.find($("#searchText").val().toString(), {

the example works as expected.

Thank you for reporting this issue, @jkpieterse. Just to confirm, this is in the "Find text matches within a range" sample for Excel, correct?
