How to insert a file into this code but not a string

This is the code:

#!/bin/bash
title='Unix Shell Programming'
read search_word
if [[ $title =~ $search_word ]]
then
   echo Yes - matchli
else
   echo No - match
enter code here
fi

I want to substitute the $title to a file called emplist. Is it possible? And how can I do that? Thank you!

You can use grep like this:

if grep -q "$search_word" emplist
then
     # $search_word was found inside the file emplist

add these lines in your shell script,

echo "enter file name with extension"
read fname
cat $fname
