Filtering Data question

Hello

 

I have a listing of several names that I want to filter to see if they contain a few phrases. 

 

I want to run a filter that will retrieve all the 'Adobe' and 'Microsoft' from the table below, could someone please provide me an efficient way to do this for several (20+) phrases? 

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Name
Adobe Pro v2
Adobe Pro v1
Acrobat
Microsoft Power point
Excel
Microsoft Word

If you only have 20, the quickest way may be the RegEx tool with Output Method = Match

 

Regular Expression = .*Adobe.*|.*Microsoft.*|.*OtherText.*
