s = "These are roses and lilies and orchids, but not marigolds or .."
r = re.compile(r'\roses\b | \bmarigolds\b | \borchids\b', flags=re.I | re.X)
print(r.findall(s))

Is it possible to add variables to the re.compile words?

keyword1 = 'roses'
keyword2 = 'marigolds'
keyword3 = 'orchids'

Note `\r` is a carriage return, not `r`. – Wiktor Stribiżew Jan 30 '20 at 11:42
`re.compile(r'\b{}\b | \b{}\b | \b{}\b'.format('roses', 'marigolds', 'orchids'), flags=re.I | re.X)` – Daniel F Jan 30 '20 at 11:49
