Default search if a string contains text matching items in a list

I have a list of product codes on a sheet in column A and a ranges of cells
containing text that has the product code in amongst the text. I want to
extract from that text the text that matches any product in the array in
column A. I have tried using the find function as an array formula but it
will only work if it finds the text of the first cell in the range.
