Well, but:
nn: "But this is a book; this is yet another book, and finally, this is a book"
a: "book"
insert a " " append a " "
find nn a
== none
So you probably shouldn't add spaces, but parse with a charset! that's the complement
of all letters that may constitute a word. And finally check if the string starts or
ends with the word you're looking for.
