Highlight cell formula fir first 5 string

Can I put a highlight cell formula in without a helper column?
I'm looking for a simple solution that accomplishes the following.:

search column and highlight cell formula for
first 5 characters in table1col1 match the first 5 characters in table2 col2.
The records are out of order.
