Hey,

I'm trying to find a way to create an indicator that find a string in concatenated string (with | delimiter). the string i'm trying to find should be exactly how it's shown in the concatenated string.

For example: find "paid" in the following examples.
1. "ba_paid" is not equal to "paid",
2. no paid" is not equal to "paid"
3. just "paid" equal to "paid"

between the other tags can but underscore and spaces.
