Default How to search for text?

In B1: =ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Apple",A1))
would be one way to check that the text: Apple is in A1 or not

Use the stricter FIND if you need it to be a case sensitive search

For example, Apple (93) in cell A1,
I would like to search for any text including Apple in cell A1,
It should return True in cell B1, because the text Apple is included in cell
A1.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you very much
