You can use anchors, as
fn:matches("I am learning regex","^re$")
7.6.2 fn:matches of https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#flags says:
Unless the metacharacters ^ and $ are used as anchors, the string is
considered to match the pattern if any substring matches the pattern.
But if anchors are used, the anchors must match the start/end of the
string (in string mode), or the start/end of a line (in multiline
mode).
Note:
This is different from the behavior of patterns in [XML Schema Part 2:
Datatypes Second Edition], where regular expressions are implicitly
anchored.
