Default Vlookup using partial word, first 4 letters

Searching for a value in a table array, spelling may not match exactly (i.e.
hyphen, no hyphen, apostrophe, no apostrophe) so I wanted to try matching the
first 4-5 letters of the word. Tried to use left with search but no luck. Any
ideas appreciated. TIA
