Default Easy newbie question

I have a string in VBA (variable "mystring") and text strings in Sheet1,
column A (A2:A100). I need to identify (in VBA) whether "mystring" is
already in the range of A2:A100, but I will be repeating this operation
thousands of times, so I'm looking for something better than just looping
A2:A100 and checking against each value individually, something more like:

If mystring (is in) Sheet1.range("A2:A100") then....

but I can't find the right keyword- I've looked for "contains", "includes",
"in", and others.... what is the proper way to write this?

Many thanks,
Keith
