How to find the same words in two different text files and print those lines using bash?

Tags:

grep

awk

I have two text files. One contain just one column of words. Hundreds of words. Just one word in every line. The second one contain a lot of columns a row.

I need to find the words from first text file which are in the second text file and print the entire line from second text file where this word is, using awk, grep or other command line program. For example:

Text file #1:

car
house
notebook

Text file #2:

32233: FTD laptop
24342: TGD car
2424: jdj notebook

Output:

24342: TGD car
2424: jdj notebook
