Var
    Target: IUiCommandTarget;
    Context: IUiCommandExecutionContext;
    Data: Array;
    CellSearch: ITabCellSearch;
Begin
    Target := WinApplication.Instance.GetPluginTarget("Report");
    Context := Target.CreateExecutionContext;
    CellSearch := ((UiReport1.Instance As IPrxReport).ActiveSheet As IPrxTable).TabSheet.CreateCellSearch;
    Data := New Variant[4];
    Data[0] := CellSearch;
    Data[1] := False;
    Data[2] := TabCellSearchTarget.Formula Or TabCellSearchTarget.Text;
