I want to find if the given elements under a group are the part of another string or no ? If they are then I want the group number of the string where it was the part. They should be part of another string.For example, 'Benefits, verify' is one string under group 1 and that is part of group 2 string (claims,verify,benefits,verify). I also want to count how many times it appears in another string.

For example

Column1                            group
Benefits,verify                      1
claims,verify,benefits,verify 2
inquiry,type 3
claims,verify 4

Output expected:

column1                        Part of group      count
Benefits, verify                 2                  1
claims,verify 2 1
inquiry,type - -
claims,verify,benefits,verify - -
