Searching for text

Right. Good simple question.

Got a textbox, full o' text'ly goodness.

I want to search for, oh lets, say, the word "blah".
in it

If it finds it, returns true,
if not; false.

-and if anyone has some fancy code that will search for similar terms, please, dont hold back.

cheers.

Like:

VB Code:

If InStr(1, Text1.Text, " blah ", vbTextCompare) <> 0 Then
      MsgBox "True"
   Else
      MsgBox "False"
   End If

Using vbTextCompare will look for BLAH or BlAh etc.

Note the Spaces before and after "blah"

If Instr(Text1.text,"mendhak") then
msgbox "Found"
else
msgbox "not there"
end if
