I'm trying to search a column, for a list of terms, and have any matches listed in the new column. For example, the column I want to search has a mash-up of text "AAAAAAABOBAAAAAAJOHNAAAAAAASUEAAAAA" and I want to find out which of my list of names are in the text. The list of names is {BOB, CHAD, SUE, MIKE, DON} and the result needs to be "BOB, SUE".
