We would want more details if to assist. Firstly your example is confusing as the initial entry is not consistent with the other two.
Secondly, are those products replicated in that list?
Lastly, where are the clients/users located, and are their names also likely to be replicated?

Um? What do you wish as an outcome? Like, how would you see your report?

I'm unlikely to develop any of that, but they are questions that clearly need to be answered.

Let column A house the data.

Let a convenient range somewhere else house the relevant keywords. Name this range KeywordList via the Name Box or the Name Manager. It's advisable to sort this list in ascending order.

In B2 enter and copy down:

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,SEARCH(" "&KeywordList&" ",$A2),KeywordList)
