You could do it really simple and search for the word followed by a space, comma, period or dash.

I have a simple search page which searches a table containing a keyword and description. I want to implement highlighting which was simple. However, I need to enhance it slightly. For example, if the user searches for "architect" results are also returned for "architectural" and "architecture". This doesn't need to change. However, I do a simple ReplaceNoCase() to highlight the string. So, only "architect" is highlighted when the whole word is actually "architectural" or "architecture." What I need is some kind of UDF or REGEX which will allow me to only highlight "architect" if that is the entire word but if "architect" is really part of a larger word it would not get highlighted. I found a highlight UDF on cflib.org but am not especially good with regexes so I'm not sure what sequence to be looking for. Also, I would like to search for more than just a space before and after the word. So if the word is hyphenated (i.e. "architectural-style" it would still highlight "architecture".
