Mapping Many Keywords

Hello,

I'm trying to get out ahead of a problem for a solution I'm working on. There is a large table, say, 1000 rows. I need to search a column for multiple keywords and assign a category. 

I guess normally on a smaller scale I would add a Conditional Column in PQ and simply do it like that, but where there are going to be a good many variables, it doesn't really seem feasible.

Can someone point me to a resource, or perhaps offer a good way of going about this?

Ah, as a follow up, I see v-stephen-msft has a solution here that could potentially help: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Checking-keywords-from-another-table/m-p/2669113 

I'll try this, but if anyone else has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate them.
