Lookup Value from List, Copy and Paste Under header

Hey guys,

I was hoping that someone could help me out with this.

In Column A, I have a list of words.

In C1, I have the header with the word that I am trying to find in Column A and make a list of it underneith, same with D1.

I am having trouble as to how to formulate some way to do this. I have been doing it in the past by doing a Filter, and then going "Contains" a word, and then copying and pasting, but when I am making lots of lists it is really time consuming. I was wondering if someone could lend a hand.

Thanks!!

Try in C2:

=IF(ROWS($A$1:$A1)>COUNTIF($A$1:$A$44,"*"&C$1&"*"),"",INDEX($A$1:$A$44,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(C$1,$A$1:$A$44)),ROW($A$1:$A$44)-ROW($A$1)+1),ROWS($A$1:$A1))))

adjust ranges to suit, and confirm with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER and copy down as far as you want and over to next column
