You may specify multiple words to match with or against. This will result in the first full-word match will. For example:
```
~>>>
This will match against "gamma"
~>>> one alpha betagamma
This will match against "one", "alpha", "one two", "two one", "two beta alpha", "betagamma"
~>>> two beta
This will match against "two", "beta", "two beta", "beta two"
~<<<
```
