It will if you use brackets to perform a regexp match. E.g.,

Keyword={example1}

(...assuming the property is "Keyword: example1 example2".)

From the manual page above:

,----
|   * If the comparison value is enclosed in curly braces, a regexp match
|     is performed, with '=' meaning that the regexp matches the property
|     value, and '<>' meaning that it does not match.
