Default URGENT -- search in string for a value in another column, if found, return value from next column

Hello ALL!

Need an urgent help on this! I am not an excel pro, however can do a
bit of troubleshooting if being helped.

I have 2 different worksheets..# 1 and # 2...I want to search each cell
from column A, worksheet#1 and see if it has any value from column A,
worksheet#2. Each cell in Column A, worksheet#1 has strings and not one
word values. So basically I want to search these strings to see if
those have any word that is also in column A, worksheet # 2. If it
finds one, then returns respective value form column B, worksheet #2 to
respective column B, worksheet # 1..I used this code on B1 cell,
however to make it worked, column A-worksheet#1 has to have single word
values and not strings I believe:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,'worksheet2'!A:B,2,FALSE)),"No t
Found",VLOOKUP(A1,'worksheet2'!A:B,2,FALSE))

Please correct me if I am going in different path...Again, I am not an
Excel PRO but need to make this worked...Any help is appreciated..
