Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
If you're going to do this on a regular basis, then I suggest you get your tables structured properly. Get a product table and identify the attributes that are relevant to your proposed use.
Working with some structure in a memo field is not a long term,high use ,maintainable approach.

You'll have to parse the memo field using functions such as
InStr, Mid etc.
