Default VLookup Not Searching the entire cell for Match

Not in order. Look in the help index for VLOOKUP to see your error in the
missing parameter.

My VLookup does not search the entire cell for a match. The cell contains
a
description of items. I.E. if "Battery" is in first position it matches,
if
"AAA Battery" it does not find it as a match. Here is the VLookup i'm
using:


=IF(ISERR(IF(SEARCH(VLOOKUP(G2058,'DESC
TABLE'!$A$1:$A$94,1),G2058)=1,VLOOKUP(G2058,'DESC
TABLE'!$A$1:$A$94,1)))=TRUE,"",IF(SEARCH(VLOOKUP(G 2058,'DESC
TABLE'!$A$1:$A$94,1),G2058)=1,VLOOKUP(G2058,'DESC TABLE'!$A$1:$A$94,1)))

What do I need to add to have the lookup search the entire lenght of cell?
