Is there a way to do a search for all fields that contain more than 1000
alphanumeric characters?
 
Found it . . . Insert a formula like =Len(a1) in a separate column and then
sort by that column to see the characters.
 
What do you mean by "search"?

LEN(A1) will give you the number of characters in A1, so you could put
this formula in a helper column:

=IF(LEN(A1)>1000,"Yes","")

and copy down. You can then apply autofilter to this column and select
Yes from the filter pull-down.

Hope this helps.
