To search a text column without the complexity of a regular expression, you can use string methods or functions available in most programming languages. For example, you can use the 'contains' or 'indexOf' method to check if a specific substring exists in the text. Another option is to use the 'split' method to split the text into an array of words and then use loop constructs to search for a particular word.
