WTB: Solve this Simple PHP Regex for $5, Or Provide efficient alternate solution

Hi..
Please solve the below regex problem and will pay $5 through paypal!!

$data="asd<br>asd asd<b>anti spyware for mac</b> asd asdas free mac spyware das d<b>ret from mac spyware remover to mac home</b>";
$srch="free mac spyware";
$regex = "/.*<b[^>]*?>(.*?.'.$srch.'.*?)<\/b>/i";
preg_match($regex,$data,$matches);

It is not matching properly and it outputs,
<b>anti spyware for mac</b> asd asdas free mac spyware das d<b>ret from mac spyware remover to mac home</b>";

Required Output is:
Nothing!!! Null because it is not present in <b></b> tags

If the $srch="mac spyware remover"; Then Required Output is:
ret from mac spyware remover to mac home

Or, if you are able to provide another EFFICIENT solution as a reusable function to perform the task, it is also appreciable

<?php
$data="asd<br>asd asd<b>anti spyware for mac</b> asd asdas free mac spyware das d<b>ret from mac spyware remover to mac home</b>";
$srch="mac spyware remover";
$regex = "/<b\s*?>([^<]*?" . $srch . ".*?)<\/b>/";
preg_match($regex,$data,$m);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($m);
?>

PHP:

 

qprojects: If there are any other tags inside <b> it will not match :-(


No Problem !! Thanks guys.. I have solved this by doing a preg_match_all and getting all B tags and then matching with a for loop !!
