Default FIND / SEARCH text compare cell to string in 3rd cell

hi, trying to compare text in 2 different cells. seems If $ES$2 has: u0 ux

want to see if either item as a whole exists in a different cell that has
for example:
f00

gets a true for 0 (zero); the whole item wanted to test for was e.g.: u0,
not just 0
for using: ISNUMBER(SEARCH($ES$2,CK9))

having a: u00, want to be true for having: u0

don't know if can test for multiple items (as a whole) or separated by
spaces??? in a fixed/ absolute cell. Is there a way to what I am trying to
convey? thanks

trying to find the shortest way to do this. if ms wanted to, would let them
program a 2 letter command to do just such a thing :P; like: IS( OR IN(
for internal search string separated by spaces .. skip the errors etc..
