Default VLOOKUP with value contained within text

Can someone please help.

I am trying to perform a vlookup where the value is contained within the
text of the cell and there is no common pattern as to where the value starts
(eg could start in position 1 or 25)

An example:

The value is contained within the following cell in "Sheet 1" - A/C
M98603521 GOLDMAN SACH


Within the array in "Sheet 2"

Column A Column B
GOLDMAN SACH GOLSAC1012
....
....

I would like to lookup A/C M98603521 GOLDMAN SACH and return GOLSAC1012.

Thanks

Dan
