Find word from list (string) - without macros

[asking4team]

Hi everbody,

I am trying to find specific words from a list of items. I want to know if the word is in the strings given, and if it is, bring to cell C the classification of each item. I want to do all without macros. 

I need it to work like the VLOOKUP funtion when is fixed, that searches among the same list disregarding the position (cells) in which the item is located.

I have tried combining IF, ISNUMBER & SEARCH funtions but it does not work the way I want. I could not upload the file, here the tables:

found/not found	Purchase	Classification
not found	iPhone 11 64 GB - black
not found	Lord of the Rings special edition books
found	Garmin GPS watch
not found	e-scooter Xiaomi
not found	Silver photo frame
found	TV with HDMI cable
found	Baby pram set
not found	Keyboard & mouse for PC
not found	iPhone 11 256 GB white

items	Classification
e-scooter	expensive
phone	expensive
gps watch	expensive
frame	cheap
book	cheap
hdmi cable	cheap
pram	average
xbox game	average
keyboard	average

Can anybody help me here? 

Thanks in advance!!!

Let's say the second list is in A2:B10 on Sheet 2 (with headers in A1:B1).

In C2 on the first sheet:

=LOOKUP(1000,SEARCH('Sheet 2'!$A$2:$A$10,B2),'Sheet 2'!$B$2:$B$10)

Fill down.

See the attached demo.

Thank you, @Hans Vogelaar 

Exactly what I needed!

I tried also with VLOOKUP + wildcards and was just about to start checking the Fuzzy LookUp but this does the job perfectly!

Thanks!!!

Hi @Hans Vogelaar

May I ask what does the "1000" do in that case?
Sometimes is working, sometimes is not...

Plus, I need something with a higher limit, does something else come to your mind? 

Thanks!

1000 is an arbitrary large number. You can change it to 1000000 or 1000000000 if 1000 is not large enough.
