Default Searching for string in other cells


Hi.
I have a block of cells in one part that containts text.
On rows below there are in column A text that I want the other columns
in that row to search for in the above block, and then enter into that
particular cell the text that is in column A in the row that it finds
it's text in (what a gibberish... Se attachment:

I want the cell C28 to search for the content in A28 ("PS") in the
cells C11:C28 and if it finds the content, as in cell C27, write in
cell C28 the content of cell A27 "Chöl".
If it found more hits like if it looked for "OM" it would write in the
cell "Tarm, Tarm, Chöl" or "Tarm Tarm Chöl"
If it finds nothing it would write nothing.
And then I'd copy the formula to all the other cells C28,30,32,34,
D28,30,32 etc...

Is there someway to do this.
COUNTIF and MATCH only works if the content matches, not if it is
among other text..
