Default formula to see if cell contains one of two text values

I am interested in writing a formula that will check to
see if a cell contains one of two words, and then will
return a value.

So, for example:

=IF(ISNUMBER("textA" or "textB"),"yes","no")

I know this formula isnt exactly correct. Can you help?
