Assuming your data starts in row 2, you can use this array** formula:

=INDEX(Sheet1!B2:B10000,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A2,Sheet1!A2:A10000)),0))

**Use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm formula, not just Enter.

Note that if you want this to be case-sensitive, replace SEARCH with FIND.

Something like this should work for you...

Dim R As Range
Set R = Worksheets("Sheet1").Columns("A").Find(Worksheets("Sheet2"). _
Range("A1").Value, LookAt:=xlPart, MatchCase:=False)
If Not R Is Nothing Then
Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B1").Value = R.Offset(, 1).Value
End If

Change the A1 and B1 references to match the actual cell addresses you are
using on Sheet2.
