Default Find Formula Problem


I have a user that is trying to find whether a cell contains a certain
string (example, 2110) and then evaluate whether it does or not on a
True/False basis. This is the formula he is trying to use:

=IF(FIND("1220",B1),TRUE,FALSE)

The problem arises when the FIND function does not find that value. It
returns a #VALUE error, which is unable to be evaluated as true or
false.

Is there a way to do what he'd like to?
