Default sumproduct contains

I am trying to evalute all cells in a column with the word Tesco in. The
problem I have is when I download the data from an external range, the cell
that contains Tesco can have other words in it, i.e. Card Payment to Tesco or
Tesco Store. I can see how to use SumProduct if the cell only contained
Tesco but not with any other words. I have used the SumIF function as
follows =SUMIF($G1,"*TESCO STORE*",$H1) wherby adding the * after the "
allows for varaitions, this however has to be repeated for every row. As an
example I have the following
G H
1 Tesco Store 5
2 Spar 15
3 Shell 1
4 Tesco 12
5 Tesco 6
6 Smiths 15
I have the following Formula =SUMPRODUCT((G1:G6="Tesco")*(H1:H6)) this
returns an answer of 18. The answer I expect is 23. As you can see it does
not recognise Tesco when another word appears in the cell.
Thanks
