m = "a1 - a2 - a3" #stored in database
n = "a4 - a5" #given by user
"-" is just a seperator I used while making the database to make things orderly
I have many strings like these and what I am trying to do is check whether n is in m.
if n.lower() in m.lower():
This is what I have right now.
m = "a - b - c" #example
n = "b - c" #given by user
This will return True and it seemed to me that everything worked out fine.
m = "a - b - c" #example
n = "c - b" #given by user
But I want this to return True too. Order shouldn't be concerned.
Tldr; I am trying to find multiple words/characters in a string but the order shouldn't matter.
def search(userString, dbString):
userString.lower()
dbString.lower()
for i in dbS.split():
for j in userS.split():
if j in i:
I tried something like this but I really don't know how to proceed.

m = "a - b - c"
n = "c - b"
flag = False
array = n.split()
for elem in array:
if elem not in m:
flag = True
if flag is True:
print("Not a sub string")
