Default Compare String in Cell to an Array

Hi,
What kind of comparison, what should the result be?
1- Return true if at least one element of B2 is found in AA2:AA10,
2- or Return an array of all elements of B2 found in AA2:AA10
3- or return a pipe (|) delimited string with all elements of B2 found in
AA2:AA10
4- or return the cells of AA2:AA10 having an matching element in B2
....

Regards,
Sébastien

I am wanting to take a string in a cell containing multiple data elements to
an array and have the data in the cell either trimmed or to highlight the
element that is matched in the array.

Example:

Cell B2 contains:
MROMANO | MTELLIG | JGURECK | MWOLK | LGAZDA | GVANBUH | CSHOAF | STILLER |
RVERBIC | DSTEPHE | BLANGLI

Cells AA2:AA10 contain the array for comparison.

I am not sure where to proceed from here since this appears a bit complex
from the onset. Thanks in advance for any insights.
