That sentence makes no sense to me whatsoever. Can you explain it a bit?
What are you intending to get out of it?

You describe a perfectly working URL keyword filter.

  - whitelisting "google.com" ... allows *ALL* of google.com.
  - blacklisting *pirate* ... blocks *ALL* mentions of "pirate" in URL
(including google lookup URLs, result URLs, etc)

Your choices are:
   * accept the price of keyword filtering URLs.
   * stop using the filter.
   * complicate your config further with a set of
whitelisted-blacklisted keywords based on other things (like your
google.com example).
