In this case all you need is matching on word boundaries. I fully agree
that this should work. But if you want to send a message to Oma then you

Sure. In my opinion there's a whole zoo of matching rules that are way
more valuable than arbitrary substring matching. For example, phonetic
matching (Meyer=Meier=Mayer=...). Or a bit of typo resistance by adding
a Levenshtein distance threshold.
