Check if there is a space in a string as test for IF
 

I need to check if there is a space in a string(Cell) and use the result as a test in an if statement.

I tried using search() but if there is no space there is no result so I get #VALUE in my formula cell.
=IF(SEARCH(" ",G2),{split string at space},"FALSE")

Is there anything I can use that will get me a Boolean true false result that can be used?

I have found an answer.

If I enclose the search in an ISERR() then it works.

ISERR(SEARCH(" ",G2)) result of this is either TRUE or FALSE.

you can use TextToColumns with space as deliniter. If there is a space
the string will be split.
Or use formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(" ",G2)),{split string at space},"False")
