Default Match a text

Hi,

I have 1 column which contains address and city name now i want a formula
which shuold look for city name and shud return the same city in next col.
This i can do using filters (which contains = XXX and i can put the values in
the next col) but pls tell me how to do automatically using the formula.

Would appreciate the quick response.

Thanks in advance.

Example :

# 49, MG road, Chennai now I shud look for the string "Chennai" and shud
put the value "Chennai" in B1
81, II cross, viveknagar, Hosur
123, ALS Nagar, Chennai
555, Kormangla, Chennai
