Default Lookup text values

I want to compare one column of text data with another, but not all of the
information is the same. I don't need to know whether the data is exact, I
simply want to know if it is alike.

Eg.
A B
Green Apples Apples
Juicy Pears Tree

If any part of the two cells are the same, e.g. as Row 1 I want to be able
to return a value. Is auto filtering the only way to do this.
