String compare C# - whole word match
<p>I have two strings:</p>

<pre><code>string1  = "theater is small"; 
string2 =  "The small thing in the world";
</code></pre>

<p>I need to check weather the string "the" is present in the strings or not.<br>
I can use the contains function, but can it do a whole word  match? i.e it should not match with "theater" of string1! </p>
