You can search for words only:

(re-search-forward (concat "\\b" (regexp-quote string-b) "\\b"))


Or you can give up the temp string and search for both at once like this:

(re-search-forward (concat "\\(" (regexp-quote string-a) "\\)\\|\\("
                           (regexp-quote string-a) "\\)"))

and then replace based on which one was found:

(if (match-beginning 1)
    (replace-match string-b)
  (replace-match string-a))
