Add column with list of keywords found in text column using M code

Hi,

In power query I have a text column with phrases. I want to categorize the phrases by one or more keywords found in the text. The keywords are defined in another table.

I would like the found keywords to be added as a table/list in a new column.  The reason I want a table returned is, that I intend to expand this. same as https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Power-query-Add-column-with-list-of-keywords-found....

I am using a function in m code(photo attached) to extract all rows that match the words from the list.

IDtextkeywords to be searched fortable to be returned
111standard price for the productstandard pricestandard price
112standard for the productstandardstandard
113 price for the productpriceprice

 

I have an issue with this solution 

When i expand the table  if there is a text that contains 'price',  I can see also the rows with 'standard price'.

This is not what I want. 'Price' and 'Standard price' should be separate categories( the one shouldnt be included in the other). In other words , if the text contains price w/o th word standard, this shouldnt be included in standard price.

 

Thank you.
