excel - Start VBA macro when editing a cell

Question

I simply try to write a search macro in an excel sheet. How can I start a macro dynamically DURING editing a cell. When writing in a cell the search macro should run in the background with every character added or deleted not just at the end. Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) only starts when editing is finished (return was hit or other cell was selected).

Thanks.

You can't. The code engine won't run while Excel is in Edit mode. You have to have the user enter the text in something other than a cell - like a control on the worksheet or a control on a userform.
