Default How to avoid the #Value! result in a formula?

I am trying to test for the word " and " in a cell. If the word is there,
everything is fine. However, if the word is not there, I get a #value!
error.
Here is the formula I have
=IF(SEARCH(" and ",C2)0,LEFT(C2,SEARCH(" and ",C2)),"")
Column C has names and if married, the spouses name. I am trying to separate
these in to differant coulmns. The results of the above would be the
extracted spouses name

Thanks,
Mctabish
