2.) I noticed that it won't work with multiple words or empty space between
characters. I would like to work with the numericle offset of characters and
place that info gathered into an array if possible.

Would offset() do what you want?
I would expect this to be faster, since going to the start position will have constant time.

(Your method probably has mc^2 time, call it E ;-), where m is the number of words to find and c is the length of your string in characters. Using offset() should have mc time. Why squared? I'm just guessing, but I assume wordOffset() has to count up to the starting word each time.)
