Erlang：从列表中查找单词并返回 True

Question

How can I make function to search for a word in list and return true if word in list.

Example :

find(string) ->
    List = ["bye", "hello", "hi"],
    case string in List of
        true ->
            true;
        _ ->
            false
    end.

find("hi there, how are you today?").

And the text is : "hi there, How are you today?"

it should return true cuz hi in list.
