Hi Brian,

If you are using Data - Filter - Autofilter, then click on the arrow at
the right of your filtering column you'll see some options at the top &
then your list of values.
Click on the option "(Custom...)", you will get a popup dialog box and
in the top left section it should say "equals" & have a dropdown arrow
immediately to the right. Click on the arrow, scroll down, select
"contains", tab into the right field & type "portable", and click ok.

Have a play, as you can see there are a number of ways of filtering
when using the custom option.
