Default Search multiple text in one string

Greetings,

I have a pivot table where the first column holds the string to search
(first value in E21)


Airfare Account
AirFare Transactions
Car Rental
Meals & Incidentals



I have a table of 12 categories with about 3 keywords each:

Pick List: Keywords:
D E F G
3 Travel - Per Diem Diem lodging diem
4 Travel - Rental Car car mileage Ground trans
5 Travel - Airfare Air air Fare
6 Travel - Other travel


D21 (cell to the left of pivot table value) should automatically categorize
the item. Find is case sensitive, Search worked better...

This is what I have on D21:
=IFERROR(IF(SEARCH(OR($E$3,$F$3,$G$3),E21),$D$3,"c ontinue with next
keywords"),$D$14)
OR- Doesn't work on multiple search or find. Not sure how to do it in VBA.
Brain freeze Help..please :) Different/faster/better solutions also welcome.

Thanks,
Pilar
