Default Looking up a string of text within a string of text


Is it possible to look up a string of text within another string of
text, using some variation of vlookup? For example, I may need to find
a text string like "First Bank" within a column containing strings of
text that may be "The First Bank" or "My First Bank" or some variation
containing "First Bank." Preferably, the lookup would not be case
sensitive.

Any suggestions?
