    search for word in string of text = true or false?!

    Hi.

    I'm searching for words in strings of text, if true one thing, if false something else.

    say this is my list:

    product1
    Total product2
    product2
    product2 total
    product3
    product3 TOTAL

    (exciting list, huh)

    I'd like a yes or no answer as to whether the string contains word 'total' for example, whatever case that may be.

    Suggestions>?
