checking if a string is with in a different string

Sorry thats worded badly but i couldn't think of how else to put it, anyways. I have recently moved from RB, as stated in previous posts of mine, and i'm still trying to get to grips with it all, but i must say i am getting there, thankfully.

I'm creating a search function for my program, and in RB i would of used the InStr function to check if a string occured in side another string for example

searchString		:World
string			:Hello World
Found			:YES

like i said i would of done

if instr(String,SearchString)>0 Then
	//It was found
else
	//not found
end if

In Obj-C i have tried to do this:

if ([string compare:searchString] == NSNotFound){
	//Not Found
}else{
	//Found
}

but it has not worked, could anyone help me out and tell where i'm going wrong?
