You are already showing code in your question. Are you looking for the String.IndexOf()[^] method or do you want to implement a string matching algorithm yourself?

The best way to achieve that is to use RegEx [^]. At the end of the article, you'll find examples.

Hi Maciej ... I agree RegEx as the solution but your link wasn't working ... getting Content Not Found ... I think you need .aspx not .asp

Now should be OK.

if you want to search a key in a text box you can do like this:

C#

private void FindForText(string key, int startIndex)
{
    int index = this.TextBox.Text.IndexOf(key, startIndex);

    if (index == -1)
    {
        this.EditFindNext.Enabled = false;
        MessageBox.Show("Match not found!",
            "Find",
            MessageBoxButtons.OK,
            MessageBoxIcon.Error);

        return;
    }

    this.EditFindNext.Enabled = true;
    this.TextBox.SelectionStart = index;
    this.TextBox.SelectionLength = key.Length;
    this.TextBox.ScrollToCaret();

   //keep these indexes
}

You should add the whole word in your regular expression like this:

(shoes|shirt|pants)
Where shoes, short or pants are the words you want to search.

code example is such:

C#

Regex.Match(content, @"\b" + keywords + @"\b", RegexOptions.Singleline | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
//Assuming keyword is a string you want to search

I did not write the code myself, source is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1209049/regex-match-whole-words[^]
