  Purely out of curiosity to see if it can be done, I took a shot at a formula to find any text that's part of the table and return a list of outcomes.

=LET(sResult,SEARCH(H3,$B$3:$F$8)/SEARCH(H3,$B$3:$F$8)*SEQUENCE(COUNTA($A$3:$A$8)),
      TRANSPOSE(
         INDEX($A$3:$A$8,
            UNIQUE(
               AGGREGATE(15,6,sResult,SEQUENCE(COUNT(sResult)))
            )
         )
      )
   )

    If so I'd avoid LET() since it's on Beta channel only

    =TRANSPOSE(IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,
     FILTER(--(MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(H3,$B$3:$F$8)),SEQUENCE(COLUMNS($B$2:$F$2),,,0))>0)*ROW($A$3:$A$8),
               MMULT(--ISNUMBER(SEARCH(H3,$B$3:$F$8)),SEQUENCE(COLUMNS($B$2:$F$2),,,0))
)),"no such"))
