I'm working with Python v2, and I'm trying to find out if you can tell if a word is in a string.

I have found some information about identifying if the word is in the string - using .find, but is there a way to do an IF statement. I would like to have something like the following:

if string.find(word):
    print 'success'

Thanks for any help.
