I would like to know if SAS has any model that allows word matching?
It may depend on exactly what you mean by "word matching". Can you provide some examples of before/ after?
What you are describing is called text mining and SAS has a product for that. If you don't have a text mining product then building something from scratch is a lot of work. It all depends on how big your text mining job is. If it is only a few words you want to do then DIY is OK. If you want to do thousands of words from millions of records DIY isn't recommended.
What SAS version do you use currently? You can search the SAS documentation regarding this topic: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/casvtapg/titlepage.htm
There's also this older product that is an add-on to SAS Enterprise Miner: https://support.sas.com/en/software/text-miner-support.html#documentation
