How it works
The text 1 "car" matches "car" - the outcome should be - Yes
The text 1 "boat" is contained in text 2 "boat, car, bike, train". or "boat" is a part of the "boat, car , bike, train" and therefore the outcome should be - Yes
The text 1 "boat" is not contained in or matches text 2 "car is a vehicle" and therefore the outcome should be - No
(The text 1 has to be contained within the text 2).
