Regarding Power BI Function to search particular word from a column

Hey Hi,

I am looking for a function to search a particular word from a given column.

Currently, I am Using 

 

Column_name = SWITCH(

    FALSE(),
ISERROR(SEARCH("Sai", PowerBI_Fact[Product])), "Sai",
PowerBI_Fact[Product]

The current error for this function was -  It was extracting by individual characters(Where I need to extract by exact word text).

Example - 
ProductsOutput 
Mino sai   Sai   (Which is fine)
sai Kumar   Sai   (Which is fine)
isa    Sai   (There is no Sai in the text but it has all the words separately)


Any help can be appreciated.

Thanks.
