The dumbest of dumb Text Search questions
I was able to assign the results of the awk statement to a variable, but it looks like the supplied code only returns a result if the 2nd search criteria (blah) is in the 1st column. If the 2nd search criteria is not in the 1st column as follows, nothing is returned:

Code:
 
blah
blah
ABC
123
456
789
DEF
yech
yech
GHI blah
JKL blah
How do I modify this logic to search beyond the 1st coumn?
