I have a formula that I found online for searching through a named range (example: test_range) with a cell reference. However I need it to recognize substrings in the search and still find the named range result. I modified the formula for wildcards but it still doesn't work. Using a different match_type also doesn't work.
Here is the formula:
=IF(ISBLANK($D$3),"",IFERROR(INDEX(test_range,MATCH(1,(--(NOT(ISERR(SEARCH("*"&$D$3&"*",test_range))))),0)),"error"))
I've attached an image of the problem and the excel sheet.

The formula for creating the named range is:
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(Test!$A$2:$A$100)),"",LET(test_range,Test!$A$2:INDEX(Test!$A:$A,ROW(Test!$A$2)+5),FILTER(test_range,test_range<>"")))
