So I use the same database, the same cell, same formula. But somehow I get different behavior of formula when I evaluate it.
Here I use SEARCH as a single formula
Code:
{=SEARCH(List,E521)}
And I get only first item from the List (table).

But here I use SEARCH in combination of formula
Code:
{=INDEX(List,SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER([U]SEARCH(List,E521)[/U])*(ROW(List)-1)))}
And I actually get all items from the List.

What makes it change the behavior ?
