I want to search text terms in Calc to cost out formulations/recipes.
I have seen that this is not (yet?) supported. Excel does not excel
either.
Any clues?

Please give some examples of what you are trying to do. Calc supports
searching (and replacing) using a restricted form of something known to
computer scientists as Regular Expressions. A Regular Expression is a
formal way of defining a text "pattern". You need to turn on this option
under More Options>Regular Expressions in the Search & Replace pane. For
more details see the Help under Regular Expressions. Google will
probably give millions of references. Pretty much any decent book on
Unix will have some sort of introductory explanation as will any book on
the programming language Perl.
If you give us some examples we might be able to shine a brighter light ...
