Default Comparing Groups

I am trying to compare two groups of words together and would like to
be able to do the following:

Compare group 1 words against group 2 words and create and identify
any words in group 2 that contain any of the terms (including multiple
terms)from group 1.

For instance:

Group 1 Group 2 Identified Words
one one one
two nine onethree
three eight
four onethree

I have used this (in column c) to identify single words:

=COUNTIF(A:A,b1)
=COUNTIF(A:A,b2)
=COUNTIF(A:A,b3)
and so on...

.....but that's not quite what I'm looking for.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks!
