How can we search for a specific word in oracle...

Hi,

Is there Oracle function that searches for a specific word? I want to search only words(not string). Please see the sample below.

text : 'oracle forum is the best'
word : 'orum'
Result : Not exists****

If we use INSTR, it says the word exists. But i want to search for word 'orum' not for the word containing 'orum'. So the result is 'word orum doesn't exists in the text'.

Thanks.
