JS qna bot code help

Question

I'm trying to make a JS qna bot that answers questions about a specific topic.
I'm trying to get it to check for a possible question keyword, In this example:
Keywords: how many beans | number of beans // line 53
If user enters one of the above, Answer = "800 beans" // line 108
var PQ1 = /how many beans|number of beans/;
var PA1 = PQ1.test(input.toLowerCase());
switch (input.toLowerCase()){
case PA1:
Ans = "800 beans";
break;
}
The problem is it doesn't work.
Cuz PA1 returns a value of true (or 1). Instead of the string that is found in PQ1.
