Default If statement only shows value in first cell

I'm trying to use an IF statement to find a value in a row array, and return
that text value in the formula cell.

1 a b c d e
2 101 INDUSTRIES brass
3 LIGHTING HOME nickel
4 FRANKFURT brass nickel stainless copper
5 Jersey copper
6 Dallas nickel stainless cooper brass


{=IF(b2:e2="brass,"brass",0)}
next cell down would have {=IF(b3:e31="brass,"brass",0)}

If "brass" is in the first cell of the array, it returns "brass". If it in
in cells c2,d2,or e2, it returns a 0. What am I doing wrong?
