searching for partial text within a range of cells
I want to run a series of if's to find out if text exists within a range of cells:
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("void",C2:D2)),"Payment Void",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("letter",C2:D2)),"Letters","Other"))
The challenge here is it is returning Other no matter what. Here's an example of a cell that contains void that I would expect it to return "Payment Void" but its not:
"Void payment for terminated client/member"
Thoughts on how to achieve what I want here?

Here's another one...
=IF(COUNTIF(C2:D2,"*void*"),"Payment Void",IF(COUNTIF(C2:D2,"*letter*"),"Letters","Other"))
