Late to the thread. If the purpose is just to see whether the word exists in a string, would this work (using regular expressions)?
on mouseUp put "Some timely text with time, and more." into tString put "time" into tTarget put containsWord(tTarget, tString) end mouseUp function containsWord tWord, tString put "(?i)\b" & tWord & "\b" into tRE return matchText(tString, tRE) end containsWord "\b" is the regular expression "word boundary" pattern. "(?i)" makes the match case insensitive.
