Amazingly, there's no real provision for changing the highlight color of the Ctrl-F search results in Excel 2007. I have a spreadsheet from an associate that has a background color that is the same as the search results color. Some folks have found that tweaking "display" colors deep in Windows settings has an effect - but it tends to be temoporary. A better solution is to change the way one searches. Instead of using "Find next" after entering your search phrase, first click "Find all" and then click "Find next." This will put a thick black surround around the search results, and you'll be able to see them.
