I have an if formula that has a variable. I'd like to search for a keyword (diesel) and if it is found, return a string. I thought about IF(F23="*diesel",S$33 but that didn't work.

Any ideas?
 
That would go in the towing slot & you would use the same for the storage slot just changing the word to lookup.
If that is not what you want, then I'm out. As I have no idea what you are trying to do.

Plug my formula in post #26 in the sample you showed in post #22, what results do you get, how is it not working?

My formula in Post #21 and #26 will do Exactly what you want Without the need to change the Keyword for Every Cell you put the formula in.....
