Depends. Could be as simple as this to return an array of all
occurrences of $needle in any of the $haystack_array values:
$haystack_array = array('something is here', 'nothing matches here',
'there will be a somethingsomething match here');
$needle = 'something';
$matches_array = preg_grep("/$needle/", $haystack_array);
Depends on where you are getting the search criteria and how you want it
to match in the array. BTW... If this is originally in a database then
you can do it there with the LIKE operator and % wildcard.
