Jquery find the exact string no more or less

I have text from rusks that I use to open menu items on a page. For example, let's say bctext = 'pasta'.

I want to target the word "pasta" but not say "yadda yadda yadda pasta". Only a copy of the single word "pasta" must match, or if it bctextwas a phrase, then he will find only the exact phrase.

This is what I still have:

$('ul#accordion a:contains(' + bctext + ')')

But this, of course, finds "yadda yadda pasta".

I get bctextwith the following:

var bctext = $('#CategoryBreadcrumb ul li:last-child').prev().children().text();

Then I edit the menu with the following:

$('ul#accordion a:contains(' + bctext + ')').parent()
                                            .addClass('special')
                                            .children('ul')
                                            .css('display','block');

Is this what I'm going to make possible?

$('ul#accordion a').filter(function() {
    return $(this).text() == bctext;
}).parent().addClass('special').children('ul').css('display','block');

:contains() , .filter() .
