Is there a way to search an entire workbook for keywords and return the
entire row? The same as "sort" does on one page, just across the whole
workbook.

Right-click on a sheet tab and select "Select All Sheets", then a regular
Find command will search thru all the sheets. Not sure what you mean by
"return the entire row", tho.

Sort does not search.

Did you mean same as Filter?

You cannot filter across worksheets

You can search across sheets in a workbook.

What is "entire row" and to where you like your found data returned?
