By placing delimiters on both sides of the search term (right side) and between each element of the search (left side), you require the contains '^' operator to match not only the search term, but also the two delimiters on either side. This is so you can prevent substring matches. For example: [hideif |a|ab|abc|abcd|^|[id]|] will not fire if [id] is 'bcd'.
