    Lookup key words in bank statement description

    I would like to lookup key words in my bank statement descriptions in order to categorize the transaction.

    Here is an example of the Descriptions I will search in (Cell C2)

    BURGER KING #9905 08/31 PURCHASE MARLBOROUGH MA
    THE OLIVE GARD00016261 08/31 PURCHASE MARLBOROUGH MA
    BIG Y 29 HOLDE 09/02 PURCHASE HOLDEN MA

    Will be using the below table to search for the first field (Cell $I$2) in order to return the second field (Cell $J$2)
    Burger King Fastfood
    Olive Dining
    Big Y Groceries


    I am using below formula now
    =(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$2,C2)),$J$2,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$3,C2)),$J$3,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$4,C2)),$J$4,IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($I$4,C2)),$J$4))))

    But this list is getting way to big.
    Is there a better way to create a lookup table which I can expand easier?
