There is a new plug-in called Similarity that may help. "The Text Similarity function plug-in allows users to compute a similarity score between pairs of texts. By computing a similarity score, one can find related items, group similar items, detect duplicates, and more."

Or if simply using whereContains()...

a!localVariables(
  local!criterios: split("teste,teste2,teste3",","),
  local!corpo: split("ola eu sou o carlos e tenhos teste e teste3"," "),
  
  /*a!forEach(
    items: local!corpo,
    expression: fn!contains(local!criterios, fv!item)
  )*/
  
  wherecontains(local!criterios, local!corpo)
)

Not sure if this is what you're shooting for:

a!localVariables(
  local!criterios: split("teste,teste2,teste3",","),
  local!corpo: split("ola eu sou o carlos e tenhos teste e teste3"," "),
  a!forEach(
    items: local!corpo,
    expression: fn!contains(local!criterios, fv!item)
  )
)

which returns:

I'd start with

whereContains(local!criterios, local!corpo)

...which will return an array of matches (indices in the 2nd array where value(s) from the 1st array are a match). If no matches, the returned array will be empty. You can do what you want from there with these results.

The same result is attainable via a nested a!forEach (as long as you structure it right, i think your examples above are close but both miss the mark somewhat) - but whereContains() does this work for you.

you have to match key value word by word for the sentence , here is what you can do to resolve that

a!localVariables(
  local!text:"I am an idealist",
  local!key:"ideal",
  local!wordWiseSentance: split(local!text," "),
  contains(local!wordWiseSentance,local!key)
)
/*returns true means key is present else not present*/

Just check the java code bellow, basically we wanted to turn that into appian SAIL code.. but we can't find how we can do a foreach to compare local!corpo and !localcriterios.

I'm unclear exactly what it is you *are* looking for. For instance are you looking for instances of " ideal " (i.e. with whitespace / non-word characters before and after, what we might call a "whole word" search elsewhere)? Or is it something else?

Maybe it's too simplistic but aren't you looking for " ideal " rather than "ideal"? That is, the spaces either side of a word matter?
