    Try this in B2 and filled down

    =IFERROR(LOOKUP(2^15,SEARCH($C$2:$C$32,A2),$C$2:$C$32),"")

    Note, there cannot be any blanks in C2:C32

    This worked but when i upgraded the C column to include more variables some of the results came back as just the word Golf which i highlighted in green in this sheet.
