Rules are very literal! If one wants only the word 'bad' filtered and not
words like 'badger', the word to search for should be ' bad ' (note the
leading and trailing spaces!). This means you word list may also have to
have multiple entries for each word, for plurals and other forms. And don't
forget that a phrase like ' bad guy ' might be caught, even with the extra
spaces.
