You want to use the Substring method of the String class. See:

Orrrrrrr...

You can use IndexOf and save you a lot of time

Public Function ContainsString(ByVal Text As String, ByVal InStr As String)
As Boolean
Return Text.IndexOf(InStr) >= 0
End Function

If the search string can be part of another word:

\\\
Dim s As String = "This is a test, really!"
MsgBox(CStr(InStr(s, "test") > 0))
///
