How can I do a JQL search for a specific whole word, without also grabbing stories that include that

I'm trying to search for stories that have a specific database table in their summary. For example, let's say that the table I'm trying to find referenced in stories is called "data_table". How can I avoid also getting results for tables called "this_data_table", "that_data_table", and "the_other_data_table"?

Thank you @Jordan Dowdy . Brandon and I tried using that, but it seems to give results for "data_table", "this_data_table", "that_data_table", and "the_other_data_table"
