(https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!mydiscussions/docs/uPRXperGqa4)Combining IF Search functions in Google Sheets
I'm trying to setup an IF function that looks for certain words in a field and then returns that word. My function looks like this and works if I have a single word like this:
=IF(search("apple", B2),"apple")
But if I try to add another word search like this it fails:
=IF(search("apple", B2),"apple"),IF(search(" banana", B2),"banana")
I'd like to be able to combine several word searches and return that word, plus "none" if none of the words is found.
Thanks in advance

Yoga,
Here's a link to a test sheet.
The first 3 cells illustrate how I would like to search for a text string and if it is found display in the cell. I'm trying to figure out how to combine those 3 formulas into one. The 4th cell should contain 'none'.
Thank you for your help.
Namaste
