searching for column data

I have 2 lists I need to search data in.  All is alpha-numeric.
I need to take one value and see if it exists in the other list.

For example, data is in both columns B and C.  I need to take B2 and then search C2:C286 and in D2 show either yes/no, true/false - whatever is possible.  Then take B3 and search C2:C286 and show a result in D3 and repeat all the way down.

I can't seem to find a function that will do this.  I've been looking around at lookup/vlookup/match and don't know if that can do what I need.
