Default Finding specific text in a string

Hi All

I have a hundreds cells with a long text string separated by comma's
detailing the all the applications on PC as follows:

Column A, Cell A2: PC Reference
Column B, Cell B2: Access 2000, Project 2000, Front 2000, Easy CD Creator,
Adobe 5.0, etc

....And the list continues to rows 15000

Is there a way I can search the string in B2 to identify 'Project 2000' only
and then populate a blank Cell (C2) with 'Project 2000'? Something like:

IF the string in Cell B2 contains 'Project 2000' THEN populate Cell C2 with
'Project 2000'.

I'd appreciate any advise on how to create such a worksheet function.

Thanks in advance,
H
