How to fetch a string from a list if it contains specified value

Question

I have a list in Python defined as :

data=['multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-modelquality-12as', 'multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-dataquality-2342as']

From this list I want to fetch 'multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-modelquality-12as', but the problem is that I don't know this exact string, don't know the index.

The only thing I know is that the string could containt 'modelquality'. So using the string 'modelquality', how can I fetch the 'multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-modelquality-12as' from data list?

You can filter out all the string that contain modelquality like this:

using list comprehension

data = [
    'multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-modelquality-12as',
    'multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-dataquality-2342as'
]
data = [d for d in data if 'modelquality' in d]

using filter

data = [
    'multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-modelquality-12as',
    'multirislmtdl-endpoint-name-dataquality-2342as'
]
data = list(filter(lambda d: 'modelquality' in d, data))
