Searching for a partial string

All,

I am trying to search for a string within a variable and having issues. Specifically we are looking for recruiter names that are in requisition event action descriptions. So far I have tried using the Match function but I think it is very literal and wouldn't search for a given string throughout an entire variable.

A different way to explain this... There are 3 event descriptions that have values of "Collaborators Added: Justin, Ann, Gina", "Collaborators Added: Dustin, Ann, Gina, Brian", "Collaborators Added: Dustin, Ann, Gina, Annie". I only want to get event descriptions that have Annie in it but can't figure out how. I looked through the functions and thought Match could do it but think I have to use ?'s to literally place where I want a value (i.e. Match([Req. Event Action Description]; "?????????????????????J*") would return true for the one variable that has Justin in the 22nd character place). Is there a way

Howdy, Stranger!
