Default comparing text

I’m trying to write a simple search that would check the contents of a
cell for a variable search word. These cells contain several sentences
so I need it to pluck the word out of the cells and provide me with the
value in the next column. I can figure out how to do almost everything
else except compare the value of the cells with the search variable.

so how would i say this for example

If (any part of) activecell.value = Variable then msgbox
activecell.value

thanks everybody, Im new to this and appreciate any help greatly!
