Not sure if I'm asking correctly, but... this is what I need to do (an example)

 

I have a user that wants to find a school with the words "western" "university" in them. (wildcard search basically).  And I want the results to be below.

  Search Results
School Name Western University School1, School2, School4, School7

 

The data source is below

School1 Northwestern University
School2 Junior University
School3 Junior College
School4 My University
School5 That College
School6 This College
School7 Western College

 

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Kenneth,

If you have Microsoft 365 you can use this formula:

=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,FILTER(A4:A10,(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B1,B4:B10))+ISNUMBER(SEARCH(B2,B4:B10)))))

See file attached.
