I have a formula that looks for a certain word within a text string in multiple columns.
small(if(not(iserror(search("house", B2:E50))),row(B2:E50)),rows($A1:A1)).
This gives me the row number.
It does not work with advanced filter.
The intent is to filter on rows that may be contained in multiple columns for the word house. I'll have to use some sort of wildcard.

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
I should've been more clear about the question I have.
Can I use this array formula with advanced filter or do I need another formula?
