I have 121 values in C column which i need to compare A column 5k values.

I made simple IF formula where "Pizza" with wild card represent C column data.

Code:
=IF(A1="","",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*Pizza*",A1)),"True","False"))

I tried to put range width wildcard but its not giving me correct result.Little help here.

Also i tried one more thing i nested this formula for 121 values and off course excel giving me Error about more then 64 levels of nesting.
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
still not clear friend, show us the first 10 rows of cols A to C with the outcome you want

I also tried but its not working.

Code:
=IF(A1="","",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"*Pizza*"; "*American (Traditional)*"},A1)),"True","False"))

And

Code:
=IF(A1="","",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*"&$C$1:$C$121&"*",A1)),"True","False"))
