    Get Values from Cell After Certain Text?

    But mind me, is it possible to do a formula for 'certain specified text', and that for 'before' the text.
    Sorry if I'm putting it wrong. What I mean is, eg:

    In Column B I'd like to get rid of the &ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

    word+forum
    powerpoint+forum
    access+forum

    That worked like magic, really awesome - thanks!
    I don't know how you guys do it. Must be as easy as cake.

    The first formula you gave I can comprehend, but 2nd one I'm totally lost.
