    Searching a string of text and displaying it's corresponding value

    Problem:

    In a cell in workbook 1 i need to search what is in red to match with workbook 2. If match is found, it copies the values in workbook 2 (B2,B3,B4) which contains "Sammy 20" into workbook 1 (B2,B3,B4).

    What formula/logical formula to use to that it does this kind of search.
    The attached file has a better view of the problem. I am using Excel 2007 but had it saved at 2003 so that those w/o 2007 can view it too.

    Workbook 1:
    "Sammy 20 attached"

    Workbook 2:
    "Sammy 20 175cm"
    "Sammy 20 drives"
    "Sammy 20 own a house"
    "David 30 120cm"
    "David 30 drinks"
