Try "suse" or "\\bsuse\\b" see (info "(emacs)Regexps").  The first
will also match foosuseblub, the later will match things like
"foo.suse.bar" or "fasel-suse-list".  Your "\\.suse\\." requires a dot
before _and_ after "suse".

(info "(emacs)Regexps") probably is a good starting point.

Bye, Reiner.
