You can use .includes( ) But its vanilla javascript if(sentence.includes(word)){ } But for jquery, look at this, https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/sel_contains.asp

sentence.indexOf(word) If it is -1 then the word is not there in the sentence I think jQuery is not for this purpose https://code.sololearn.com/WwE8pN46tFCd/?ref=app

Try regex Make an input field id string for input. Let you access it as var target Let a var pattern = " hello" ; Console.log(pattern.test.(target)); if hello in input field return true elase false

Hey Namit Jain, I think indexOf will not work in some cases where word is itself a part of another word, like "there are some people".indexOf("the") // returns 0 // but, "the" isn't present in the sentence So, other options could be .includes() or the regex which Divya Mohan gave.

If you want to match hello and world both in a string use this regex /hello|world/ Similarly you can increase words using |

jQuery is already written in JS, so why not JS dude? 😅 It's simple like, sentence.includes("Hello") // returns true or false as maf had already said.
