How to search for a keyword and return the ENTIRE cell contents to a new sheet?
Based off the keywords in column A on SHEET ONE I want to search SHEET TWO for those keywords. The keywords will only appear once in a single cell on sheet two.* I then want to return the ENTIRE contents, not just the matching keyword, of the cell containing that keyword to column B on sheet one. I've attached an example excel file showing what I'm trying to do.
Thanks in advance for you help!
Will the keywords always be in column B of sheet 2? Can there be multiple answers?

On the assumption that multiple results CAN occur and that the data ARE always IN Column B; try this...
Try this
=INDEX(Sheet2!$B$2:$B$18,MATCH("*"&A5&"*",Sheet2!$B$2:$B$19,0))
