Default Find Text in cells

Hi
I need a formula that will confirm if certain text that is in one cell is
contained in another cell ie

Cell A1
Oranges Apples Bananas

Cell B1
Apples

Cell C1
I need a formula to return that B1 was found in A1.

The formula I'm using is
=IF(FIND(B1,A1)<"","yes","")
This works fine when the word in B1 is contained in A1 but I'm getting
#VALUE when the word is not in A1
Can anyone help?
