jQuery check if input text contains specific text

If input text field contains "@twitter.com", would like to append text to div.

Currently have the following but only works when [email protected], any suggestions?

var test = jQuery('input[name$="user_email"]').val(); 
  if(test == "@twitter.com"){
     jQuery(".iump-clear").append('<div>Please update your email address</div>');
  }

<input type="text" name="user_email" value="[email protected]">
<div class="iump-clear"></div>

You should check if @twitter.com is contained in input, you can use .indexOf() for that

var test = jQuery('input[name$="user_email"]').val(); 
  if(test.indexOf("@twitter.com")>-1){
     jQuery(".iump-clear").append('<div>Please update your email address</div>');
  }

<input type="text" name="user_email" value="[email protected]">
<div class="iump-clear"></div>
