Hi, All. I have a long list of keywords that I'd like to return in columns if they match the text in a cell - See below. I'd like to see words returned from List (Column B) in columns C,D,E, etc. if they are found in the corresponding cell in Title (Column A). I've played with a few formulas using ISNUMBER, SEARCH, and LOOKUP without success. Thanks so much!

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
In C2 control+shift+enter, not just enter, copy across, and down:

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$8,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(" "&$B$2:$B$8&" "," "&$A2&" ")),ROW($B$2:$B$8)-ROW($B$2)+1),COLUMNS($C2:C2))),"")
