My problem is seemingly profound but I hope to make it sound as simplified as 
possible.....Let me unpack the details..:

1. I have one folder of Excel (.xlsx) files that serve as a data dictionary.

-In Cell A1, the data source name is written in between brackets

-In Cols C:D, it contains the data field names (It could be in either col C or 
D in my actual Excel sheet. So I had to search both columns

-*Important: I need to know which data source the field names come from

2. I have another folder of Text (.txt) files that I need to parse through to 
find these keywords.

These are the folders used for a better reference ( 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_LcceqcDhHnWW3Nrnwf5RkXPcnDfesq ). The files 
are found in the folder.

This is the code I have thus far...:

[snip]
result1 contains a list of strings. None of the words in 'checkhere' are in that list. I think what you intended to do was to check whether any of those words are in any of the strings of result1:

    for element in checkhere:
        for r in result1:
            if element in r:
                print(r)
                # Found one, so stop looking for more.
                break
