Default How to search for text?

=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Apple",A1,1))
This isn't case sensitive, if you want it case sensitive,
=ISNUMBER(FIND("Apple",A1,1))
Note that this will return TRUE for Apples, Grapple, Grappled etc, ie any
word that contains the five letter sequence 'apple'

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to search for text?
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
Eric
