In the advanced course we will bump into sentences like "RNA-bound protein". In the Nobel Laureate course we will handle text in German and Chinese as well.
Seriously, you could try to generalize your search patterns somewhat (specify all possible verb tenses, etc) but the general problem of language parsing has not been solved completely yet.
Search engines map down each word token to a normalized form so you can find "found" in Google when searching for "find". In some contexts, this is a misfeature -- when you know exactly what you want, you don't want the "sugary" matches at all.
In the meantime, maybe it'd be enough to replace all spaces with dots in your regular expressions for the time being ...
