Matchtext for multiple words

[John Craig]

Although you can invert character matching using [^ ... , I don't think 
there's an equivalent for words.
You could have used;
"(is)\b(cat|dinosaur|dog)\b.*\b_(cat|dinosaur|dog)\b"

... if there was a way to say 'not beginning with the first match' where 
the underscore appears in the above - then
it would be possible to do a quick 1 liner regex - we can use '\1' to 
back reference the first match.
