Default Issues with InStr

I am trying to create a macro that looks at a string from one cell and
compares it to each cell in a list on another sheet. If the part of the
string in the list cell contains the contents in the first cell, the entire
contents of the list string is copied into a second area. The code I have is
below...

strKeyword = Sheet1.Cells(6, 2)
For lngRow = 2 To Sheet2.Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row
If InStr(strKeyword, Sheet2.Cells(lngRow, 1)) 0 Then
Sheet1.Cells(Sheet1.Cells(65536, 2).End(xlUp).Row + 1, 2) =
Sheet2.Cells(lngRow, 1)
End If
Next lngRow

The problem I have is that the computer acts like each list item contains
the contents of my search cell... What am I missing?
