Thank you for the replies, in the end I had to find the cell by reading each comment.

The Spotlight search that Badunit mentions is interesting, to work it seems to build a table of every word in each sheet, ignores duplicates, but searches each table on a sheet.

You cannot search for text in comments. You can post feedback to Apple regarding this using the Numbers menu item "File > Provide Numbers Feedback"

Interestingly, Spotlight can find a Numbers document when searching for a word in a comment. Not that this helps find the cell(s) with the comment(s), it is just something I've noticed.
