    Wildcard Search

    I have a list of titles that I would like to see if these titles appears in another cell. Can anyone help?

    Here is the example:
    A1
    Manager
    Assistant Manager
    Manager, II
    VP
    Vice President, Sales
    Assistant
    Associate

    I would like to see if it appear in this cell, regardless where it is the exact text match
    B1
    Manager, Assistant, VP, Sales

    So the result will be like:

    Thanks!

    Re: Wildcard Search

    According to your expected results, "Manager,II" and "Vice President, Sale" have matches.

    What deliniates the minimal string to match against? Any two consecutive letters?
