P.S.You may want to check out the function 'in'.
Depends on how you're pulling the items to check against. If it's a list as you suggested then 'find', or looping through 'each' is probably the best, but if they are separate arguments 'in' may be easier.

awesome. second approach (tostring) worked. I tried to put your code and came up with this:
(def test-list (mystring item-list)
(each item item-list
(if (findsubseq mystring (tostring (pr item)))
(prn item))
)
)
arc> (test-list "google" '(yahoo yahoogoogle "google yahoo"))
yahoogoogle
google yahoo
i was trying to use car on list..but it dint worked. Thanks
As a note - you dont need (tostring (pr item)) ....unless you want the output of each result to be a string. you could just use (string item).
Here's another method just for the sake of learning:
This method does a few things..(which maybe good or bad).
* it returns it in a list format for re-use.
* it maintains the original 'type'.
* it still preserves the original order.
(def test-list (mystring item-list)
(rev (accum tolist
(each item item-list
(if (findsubseq mystring (string item))
(tolist item))))))
arc> (test-list "google" '(yahoo yahoogoogle "google yahoo"))
(yahoogoogle "google yahoo")
