vValue: The string which is to be searched for non-overlapping occurrences of vValue. Function returns Null if vValue is Null or cannot be fixed up to a String.

vFind: The string whose non-overlapping appearances within vValue are to be indicated. Function returns Null if vFind is Null or cannot be fixed up to a String.

Empty strings are not considered to match anything, so if vFind is an empty string, then the indicator string will consist of spaces up to the length of string vValue.

vCompare: Specifies the type of comparison used to determine if strings match. vCompare defaults to Binary comparisons if it is missing or Null or cannot be fixed up to a number.
