You can use =RSearch in Eikon Excel to retrieves a list of instruments based on the specified search criteria. For example:
=RSearch("EQUITY","search:Apple","NBROWS:1")
It returns AAPL.O. For more information regarding =RSearch in Eikon Excel, please refer to Thomson Reuters Eikon - Microsoft Office Help in Eikon Excel Help menu.
Moreover, to use RSearch with COM APIs for use in Microsoft Office, please refer to Tutorial 7 - Instrument Search - RSearch.
Using formula -
=RSearch("EQUITY","search:Apple","NBROWS:1")
I get the results -
No results were found matching your criteria.
Please try to wrap Apple in the single quotes.
=RSearch("EQUITY","Search:'Apple'","NBROWS:1")

I suggest you raise this to Thomson Reuters Helpdesk by either calling the Helpdesk number in your country or by using Contact Us capability in your Eikon application.
