Thank you, again, for pointing me towards TrueWord which (according to the dictionary):
"Designates a string as part of a chunk expression, delimited by Unicode word breaks, as determined by the ICU Library." Using TrueWord instead of word in my 8.1.4 code, fixed the problems that I was encountereing with word chunk identification when the "word" was prefixed or suffixed with parens characters or punctuation. There appears to be little performance impact is using "TrueWord" in place of "word" when searching very large texts (10+ MB). Interestingly, there is no cross-refernce to TrueWord from the Word entry in the 8.1.4 dictionary, though there is a cross-reference from TrueWord to Word.
