Default Search text within cell

I want to set up a formula that will search for multiple values within
a cell, and then return a value according to the findings.

For example

3 cells may contain the following text:-

B1: Applicants and accepted applicants data for applicants from the
North East of England 1999-2004 entry.

B2: 2005 NMAS application data at King's College London.

B3: sit reps and possibly apptrack

My formula needs to search all cells, for all those that contain NMAS
and/or GTTR and/or sit rep the cell result needs to display C. If it
doesn't contain any of the above terms, then the cell result is blank.

Can anyone help?
