Default look for parts off contents in a cell

This formula searches C15 for the word "Black" and returns the character
number (including spaces) at which the first letter of the word starts.

=FIND("Black",C15)

Hi I wonder if someone can tell me if there is a formula that can find a
specific vword in a cell containing more than the specific word.

lets say the full contens in the cell is "the car is black" and I would it
to look for just the word "black", is this possible?
