Seems that you're looking for a partial-match-lookup, where you can put your search-values in a table. Please check this post:

@ImkeF, cool! Thank youSmiley Happy

It works, but it's very slow for my table (100,000 lines of the Product Reference), taking into account the links. Are there any other options?
