    enter text based on search of multiple cells

    Hi all
    I'm trying to enter a value in a new cell based on a search for multiple terms in multiple cells. It seems to be working ok when I search one cell, but I haven't found a way to add a second cell to the search. Here's my current formula...
    =IF(COUNT(SEARCH({"french","language","spanish","apac","chin","german","jp","jap"},P4)),"Yes","No")
    On this one particular cell I'm working on, there is a match and "Yes" is correctly inserted in my new cell. But when I attempt to add a new cell to the search, "No" is entered, even though there is a match on the first cell. Have attempted many variations including below:
    =IF(COUNT(SEARCH({"french","language","spanish","apac","chin","german","jp","jap"},P4:Q4))"Yes","No")

    I'm sure there is a way to get this done. Thanks in advance for any responses
