Try this:
If your data looks like:
Put your Search Word in Cell C1
Put this formula in B2 and drag down:
=NOT(ISERROR(FIND(LOWER($C$1),LOWER($A2),1)))
You should get a TRUE, FALSE list.
For a different way of doing this, use the same
formula, but use Conditional Formatting:
Conditional Formatting 2007
1) Select your cell or range of cells, IE A2:A7
2) On the ribbon click Conditional Formatting
3) Click on New Rules, it’s near the bottom of the dialog box.
4) Click Use Formula to determine which cells to format.
5) Enter the formula:
=NOT(ISERROR(FIND(LOWER($C$1),LOWER($A2),1)))
6) Click on the Format button
7) Select the Fill Tab
8) Select a pretty color
9) Click OK
10) Click OK
Now all the strings that have your Search Word, should change color.
