Because your regular expression says to! It says to start at a word boundary, then look for one of these combinations. The /i on the end confuses me, since you have a mixed case pattern, but that's not the point. The last part of your alternation is piz, so for your purposes this breaks down to: /\bpIz/i Which matches pizza or pizzaz, piz.* if that helps any.
