You can try to split the string (in this case the right separator can be the space but it depends by the case) and after you can use the equals method to see if there's the match e.g.:

private Boolean findString(String baseString,String strinfToFind, String separator)
{                
    foreach (String str in baseString.Split(separator.ToCharArray()))
    {
        if(str.Equals(strinfToFind))
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

And the use can be

findString("Label label Labels:", "label", " ");
