office script - range find - return row or array to power automate - power-automate

Question

I have been trying several different ways to write an office script to search for a value in a cell and return the row or rows to power automate.
I believe I need to use range.find in order to make use of the "completematch: true" option.
However, I have also tried a filter and a foreach loop to find rows which include the text I am searching for.
I'm after a hint as to which method might be best?
essentially trying to:-
power automate - pass text parameter to the script
Scripts search for a match in excel business spreadsheet
the script finds match(s)
Script passes back the row(s) to powerautomate as an array
this is what I have so far: essentially it just finds the row number in which the matching result is found. This seems to work better to avoid partial matched (as happened with the filter method )
any pointers, most welcome
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook, siteNameToFilter: string) {
let activeSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
let range = activeSheet.getUsedRange();
let values = range.getValues();
/**
* This script searches for the next instance of the text "Fino" on the current worksheet.
*/
// Get the next cell that contains "Fino".
let findCell = range.find("Fino", {
completeMatch: true, /* Don't match if the cell text only contains "fino" as part of another string. */
matchCase: false,
searchDirection: ExcelScript.SearchDirection.forward /* Start at the beginning of the range and go to later columns and rows. */
});
// Set focus on the found cell.
findCell.select();
// Remove the "TK" text value from the cell, as well as any formatting that may have been added.
//tkCell.clear(ExcelScript.ClearApplyTo.all);
let row = findCell.getRow().getUsedRange();
let ur = findCell.getUsedRange();
console.log(row);
}

I think Find may only be returning the first match. It sounds like you want all matches with the siteName. To do this, you'd either want to filter the range or loop through it.
Here's an example that loops through the range and adds the values from the rows containing the site name to an array. After the loop's completed, the array containing the values is returning by the function:
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook, siteNameToFilter: string) {
let activeSheet = workbook.getActiveWorksheet();
let range = activeSheet.getUsedRange()
let values = range.getValues() as string[][];
let rowCount = range.getRowCount()
let colCount = range.getColumnCount()
let colIndex = range.getColumnIndex()
let rowsArr: string[][][] = []
for (let i = 0; i < rowCount; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < colCount; j++) {
if (values[i][j] === siteNameToFilter) {
rowsArr.push(activeSheet.getRangeByIndexes(i, colIndex, 1, colCount).getValues() as string[][])
}
}
}
return rowsArr
}
