Answer 1

You need to loop through the array of worksheet objects in the workbook.worksheets collection.

Answer 2

Try something like this, which uses FindNext method while looping over the Sheets in the Workbook.

Sub FindLoopSheets()
Dim srchString$
Dim w As Integer
Dim wsName As String
Dim rng As Range
Dim fndRange As Range
Dim nxtRange As Range

srchString = Application.InputBox("Enter the value to search for", "Search Query")

If srchString = vbNullString Then
    MsgBox "No value entered.", vbInformation
    Exit Sub
End If

For w = 1 To Sheets.Count
    With Sheets(w)
        wsName = .Name
        Debug.Print "Beginning search on " & wsName

        Set rng = .Cells.Find(What:=srchString, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
            xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
            , SearchFormat:=False)

        If Not rng Is Nothing Then
            Set fndRange = rng
            Do
                Set nxtRange = .Cells.FindNext(After:=fndRange)

                    Debug.Print Sheets(w).Name & "!" & nxtRange.Address
                    Set fndRange = nxtRange

            Loop Until fndRange.Address = rng.Address

        Else:
            Debug.Print srchString & " was not found on " & wsName

        End If
    End With
Next w

End Sub
