Comparing text values from columns in two different Tables

I have two datasets:

 

webfact

PageTags_FactVisitsBounces
fruits.comfresh, frozen11
fruits.comfrozen21
fruits.comfresh, organic, red52
fruits.comfresh, GA21
fruits.comCA71

 

dimSegments

SegmentTags_dim
Fresh or Frozenfresh or frozen
USCA or FL or GA

 

When someone selects Fresh or Frozen from dimSegment, I expect to see this:

PageTagsVisitsBounces
fruits.comfresh, frozen11
fruits.comfrozen21
fruits.comfresh, organic, red52
fruits.comfresh, GA21

 

When someone selects US from dimSegment, I expect to see this:

PageTagsVisitsBounces
fruits.comfresh, GA21
fruits.comCA71

 

dimSegments contains hundreds of Segment and Tag combinations so I would prefer not to manually assign each condition individually. Is there a way to do this via DAX or Power Query? I'm even open to parameters nested in SQL statements via Advanced Editor.

 

This is obviously not correct but this is what my brain has conjured up: 
if Text.Contains(webfact.Tags_Fact, dimSegments.Tags_Dim) then dimSegments.Segment
