    Search for multiple words in string in a cell without nested IF

    Hello

    I want to search for either parameters in a cell using the If(ISNUMBER(search(....

    for example if a cell text contains either "sneakers" or "boots", the result should be "shoes"

    as for the formula I'm using the result is false.

    for example

    Asics - Duo-Colored Sneakers =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH((OR("sneakers","boots")),A2)),"shoes","false")
    the result is false

    Asics - Duo-Colored Sneakers =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH((OR("sneakers","boots")),A2)),"shoes","false") the result is always false
