Add this as a measure, this is not case-sensitive:Found Any Match = IF( NOT( ISEMPTY(INTERSECT({"Bus","Car", "Truck", "StarShip"} , VALUES(Table[ColimnName] )))),"YES","NO")________________________

Hi jcastr02
This kind of thing is (better?) easier to do in Power Query. It's not as easy to split text into component words in DAX.
If you use VALUES('Table'[Column]) you're checking against the entire contents of that row (like saying is a word equal to a sentence?) rather than checking word by word.
If you first create a calculated column, you can then create a measure from that.
Calculated Column
Match = SWITCH ( TRUE(), SEARCH ( "Bus", ('Table'[Words]), 1, 0 ) > 0, "Yes", SEARCH ( "Car", ('Table'[Words]), 1, 0 ) > 0, "Yes", SEARCH ( "Truck", ('Table'[Words]), 1, 0 ) > 0, "Yes", SEARCH ( "Starship", ('Table'[Words]), 1, 0 ) > 0, "Yes", "No" )Measure
Found A Match = IF( NOT( ISEMPTY(INTERSECT({"Yes"} , VALUES('Table'[Match] )))),"Yes","No")Regards
