Summary: Use "string" $ variable

The command is:

  string1 $ string2

where:

  string1 is found in string2

examples:

  list first,last for "123" $ street    && find 123 in street address
  list first,last for "SW" $ street     && find SW in street address

note:

  I sometimes will use upper functions on one or both strings if I 
  suspect there will not be a match because of mixed case.
