--- Comment #1 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
The SEARCH function (RICERCA) understands regular expressions, where a single
dot stands for "any character", so it matches the first character present in
the text to be searched. If you do not want the dot to be interpreted as a
regular expression meta-character, *either* escape it by a backslash so
RICERCA("\.";F2), *or* switch off regular expressions altogether in all
spreadsheet functions under Tools->Options->Calc->Calculate "General
Calculations" -> "Enable regular expressions in formulas".

Apache OO should have the same setting, it might had been disabled when you
tried, MS-Excel does not know regular expressions at all.

For more information on regular expressions see the LibreOffice online help
term "regular expressions;list of".
