I think that matchText is what you are looking for.
I have a proof stack which I shall upload to the forums, as obviously
this is not possible here:

Hi folks,
I am doing the above and struggling with an oddity that I can’t find guidance
on on Livecode or wider wildcard stuff
A simple example is I am searching text messages for 'with you' or 'with u’
so I use the wildcard form
*with [you,u]*
That finds all examples of both just fine. However, it also finds ‘with
unlimited cheese’ and 'with us’, ‘with yours’ etc. so I want a space after
both u
When I put two spaces inside the square brackets after each string, the search
still works but spaces seem to be ignored (so still finds the above resamples I
don’t want).
If I put a single space after the brackets the first bracketed string is
ignored and the filter only finds “with u “
Hope someone can help me stop pulling my baffled face
Cheers
David Glasgow
