\b matches the beginning/end of a word (characters a-zA-Z_0-9).
So that regex will match e.g. MULTX-FOO
I'm trying to do a whole word pattern match for the term 'MULTX-'

where keyword comes from a list of terms. ('MULTX-' is in this list,
and hence a keyword).
My regular expression works for a variety of different keyword
