We have a column that contain multiple information in the same string

Column: Service Activities
Example value: IT operations, IT development, User support, Special agreement

I would like to count the application as 1 in my new field "Appl IT Dev" if it has 'IT development' as part of the string. 
I have tried using following formula: 
=if(Service Activities = Search("IT dev",{Service Activities}),1,0)

It is not working as expected. What do I do wrong?

We have only 3 applications where the string text only is IT development. So the formula without the search function works fine:
=if(Service Activities = "IT development",1,0)

But I need the search function to work :-)

Hello @Frode Staveland Nilsen!​  Try this... 

=If(Search("it dev",Service Activities)>0,1,0)
