Default Format cells based on text string contains

On further analysis- I can't figure out how to get it to do it for where the
flag is anywhere in a text string in the cell.
e.g. "1st" in a cell which say something like "23 1st Quartile"
I tried copy pasting and using variations on the ISNUMBER(SEARCH( combo
which I use for conditional formatting but it doesn't like it.

I am hoping to use a Macro to paste this Macro in to a new sheet, but it's
not looking so great on that front either.
