The searchwords are added (by me) as I encounter them.

Of what ?    I've given several examples (of the basic problem and how your 
approach does not quite work), but those are not the ones you seem to need.

Ask yourself : does your approach solve the "this is a clbuttic mistake" 
problem ?

'Cause *that* is what I am after - just not for regular words as recognised 
by a RegExp (see "\w", "\W", "\b")

Yes ...

... and yes

Discovering/learning how to solve certain problems is never wasted time to 
me.


Also, do notice that I provided the correct solution in my first post. 
Only later I found out that the "look behind assertion" method itself isn't 
recognised by my FF v52 browsers JS. :-\
