Finding multiple whole words with .split and .includes with Javascript

I'm using javascript and html to develop a simple chatbot. The code below works and uses .split to check for a whole word, however, this means that anything entered longer than one word such as "how are you?" no longer works. How can change this so that it'll allow multiple words but still check for whole words like "hi" so that they aren't picked up in bigger words such as "high" etc.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

var know = {
<!--General Phrases-->  
"Hi": "Hello! &#128075",
"Hey": "Hello! &#128075",
"Hello":"Hello &#128075 How can I help?",    
"how are you":"Not bad, thanks!",
"Bye":"Have a nice day!",
"Goodbye":"See you later!",

"About": `You can find our About Us page by clicking <a href='https://www.page.com/about' target="_blank">here</a>` 
};

function goo() {
 var userBox = document.getElementById('userBox');
 var userInput = userBox.value;
 var chatLog = document.getElementById('chatLog');
 var chatLogContent = "";

 if (!userInput) {
     chatLogContent = ''
 }

 var hasKeyword = false;

 for (var key in know) {
      if (userInput.toLowerCase()
      .replace(/[.,\/#!$%\^&\*;:{}=\-_`~ ()]/g,"")
      .split(/\s+/)
      .includes(key.toLowerCase())) {
          hasKeyword = true;
          break;
      } else {
          hasKeyword = false;
      }
 }

if (hasKeyword) {
    chatLogContent += know[key] + "<br>"; //or use know.key
} else {
    chatLogContent += "No results found. Please enter another search term below.<br>";
}

var server = document.createElement('div');
server.setAttribute('class', 'server');
server.innerHTML = chatLogContent;
document.getElementById('chatLog').innerHTML = '';
chatLog.appendChild(server);
}

You can use the regex:

var yourText = "how are you";
var youKeyRegexEscaped = "how are you"
yourText.match(new RegExp('(^|\\s)'+youKeyRegexEscaped+'(\\s|$)'))

Rexgex explanation:

(^|\s) -> begining of the string or space
(\s|$) -> space or end of string

To escape the key, just look at Is there a RegExp.escape function in JavaScript?
