Java Method to check if keyword surrounded by HTML title-tag

I am curently trying to write a method, which checks within a textfile if a specific word is encapsulated by specific charachter-sets. For instance, if my keyword is "blablabla", and the char set are html title-tags, (e.g.

 <h2> blabla </h2>

), the method is supposed to return true. However, the keyword itself can be surrounded by different keywords (e.g.

<h2> something something blabla in the month of may </h2>

) in which case the method still has to return true, since the keyword is still surrounded by the charset defined. Here is what I allready have:

    public static Boolean KeywordIsInTitle(String text, String keywordInText){
        boolean isInTitle = false;
        if( text.contains(keywordInText) == true){
            /*Here is wehre I am stuck....
             * */

            isInTitle = true;}
        return isInTitle;
    }

I have been looking at regex and pattern matching for an hour or so but nothing works, and I have to admit I don't ffel very comfortable and very familiar with theses concepts yet... Can anyone help? thank you very much in advance!

import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Match {
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        String s1 =  "<h2> blabla </h2>"; 
        String s2 = " <h2> some other string </h2>";
        final String regex = "<h2>(.)*blabla(.)*<\\/h2>";  

        boolean b1 = Pattern.matches(regex, s1);
        boolean b2 = Pattern.matches(regex, s2);

        System.out.printf("the value of b1 is %b\n", b1);
        System.out.printf("the value of b2 is %b\n", b2);
    }
}
