RLS Security with columns that contains specific words

Hi, I'm trying to implement RLS into a Power BI report that contains specific words. I have a column that is responsible for descriptions, in those descriptions are key words that would be used to implement RLS. 

 

Is there any DAX I could use to implement a find or contain or if function I can use in an RLS filter?

The function CONTAINSSTRING should work for this purpose.

 

An RLS filter might look something like this:

CONTAINSSTRING ( Table1[Description], "keyword" )
