It's the *\b bit that screws it up, \b is word boundry, ie: only true if the char to one side of \b is a word char and the other side not. It works for the first alternation because s is a word character, * isn't. You already have in the regex there that there is at least one whitespace character following that alternation so that \b isn't serving any purpose anyway, just remove it. (But leave the first one, it is serving a good purpose.)
