    Help required with lists

    Hello from a newbie (or should that read numpty?) Please can someone help?

    I have a product list and need to identiy/separate out some products which contain the words "All Ride" in the product title. Unfortunately, the All Ride isn't always at the beginning of the title (eg it may say All Ride Valve or it may say Valve All Ride). Is there a way to do this?

    TIA

    you can apply a filter to the top row, then in the drop down list is "text filters" and you can select from that list equals, does not equal, all the way down to contains where you can put in "All Ride" and it will give you that list.
    is that something you can work with?

    =isnumber(search("all ride", A1))

    EDIT: Sambo's idea is better.

    Thanks guys - that's brilliant! Now just got to rename approx 1000 products so the All Ride is at the beginning! Cheers
