IIf this can be done?

IIf this can be done?

(OP)
I want to create a formula in a custom field to test for the existance of certain resources.  

This works fine:
iif([Resource Names] = "Technician","Yes","No")

The problem is it will only pick up the resource if it is the only one.  If Technician is allocated with another resource it ignores it.  I can use an OR as there are too many combination.  The iif does not seem to work with a wild card character (*).  

Is there a way to do this?
