Default Searching a text string in a range of cells.

How do i search for something within a text string in a cell which is in a
range of cells.

so if a cell contains the names "jim, bob, tom" what formula can i use to
just search for "bob"
I am currently using a SUMIF function which is only picking up cells that
only contain "bob" on its own.
