I am using GWT Regex

RegExp regExp = RegExp.compile("\\b" + searchWord + "\\b", "gi");

this only returns the first match. why is that? I already set the global option. any one knows how to get multiple match return?

Call exec() again with the same 'input'. See the bottom of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/exec
