search from multiple values in string

Hi,
I'm in a similar but slightly different situation and would love if someone could help me out here.

In a spreadsheet, I have in Sheet1 with column A consisting of string values which have special characters (!,$,%,etc.)
Sheet2 has a list of the special characters in it's column A

I want to find out for each row in Sheet1 which special character(s) are present by matching the list of special characters in Sheet2.

Would appreciate anyone's input. Thanks!

similar with more complications

so i have a bunch of data across 7 sheets the first 6 is whether or not certain tests pass in certain way and the last sheet is a over view of how many passed and failed.

details of testing set up
lot of items to be tested(sheet 7)
individual items test data (sheets 1-6)
these sheets have a lot number that is also on sheet 7

i think that this may need to make a function but not sure.

i want to have sheet 7 update automatically with overall pass and fail numbers as new data is put into sheets 1-6 via finding the lot number and then look at that row for weather or not it passed or not.

sheet 7 example
LOT # Total Units Tested Passed Failed
F203 1029 947 369 578


sheet 1-6 example
LOT# test1 test2 test3 pass/fail
F203 p p f fail
F203 p p p pass

can you nest this within a SEARCH function

Hi, I'm using the above to find a tilde "~" and would like to also have the formula return the position of the tilde.
Can you show me how to combine
=IF(IF(ISERROR(FIND("~",B2)),"Not found", "Found")

with

SEARCH(b2,"~",1)

I tried this, but getting #VALUE!:
=IF(IF(ISERROR(FIND("~",B2)),"Not found", "Found")="Found",SEARCH(B2,"~",1),"")
