Question Search one cell for same data in another cell

I need a formula that can search a string of text in one cell for the data that is returned in another cell.

Example:

A2: 9/26/2010 follow up
B2: NAME

C2: Today() "9/26/2010"
D2: C2 formated to read today's date as DD "26"

Cells C2 and D2 will update daily as the dates change.

I need E2 to search anywhere in A2 for the value in D2 and return the value in B2 if true. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
