Default searching for a word(s) within a list

I have a list of entries and some have US city names and/or states. I want to
be able to identify those cells that have a match for a US city or state in
the data. For example see the data below:

Jackie Lexington AL
James Jones Australia
Floyd NE
Jamie Salter

If I use the list above and match that against a us city/st list I want only
the 1st and 3rd entries returned as these are the only 3 that match the
criteria and woud find a match in the US city State list. doe this make
sense? Is this clear?

Let me know.
