How to Find Specific Text in a Text String

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a text string that I want to search for in a column. At times, it can
begin at character 1 in the text string. At others it might begin at
character 20, others at character 40. In other words it's random.

How can I get Excel to affirm that the text is there (or to copy that text
to an adjacent cell); regardless of the position of my sub-string within the
cell?

Thanks
