    Search multiple cells for multiple words and receive back....

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create a formula that will search and bring back either a yes/no, true/false, or even 0/1 against multiple cells with multiple words searched. My situation and data I am working with is as follows.

    The output cell is K2.

    The two cells I wish to search are G2 and J2. J2 generally is a few sentences long and I need to search for a particular word. G2 is a 6 letter code as in "JPG-GIF", no sentences but many different codes all 6 letters with a hyphen.


    My goal here is to be able to search G2 for a particular word and J2 for a particular code. If they occur in either I wish to receive a confirmation that either of the two cell contains at least one of what I am searching for.

    I hope this made some sense, my brain is fried trying different if and isnumber functions.

    -Tom

    I am confused. Are you looking for the code, provided in cell G2, in the few sentences located in J2?

    Sorry, I should have uploaded some sort of model.

    I don't seem to be able to provide attachments to a workbook. Ill try to show it here, please excuse this horrible way of showing my issue.....
    What I need to find.JPG



    I want to find the word "Ball" in b2, and JPG-GIF in A2 and if found result in C2. for instance where Ball or JPG-GIF are not found then false result in C.






    Im ok with 0/1 as a result too.
