It works.
Keywords are a set of words, separated by spaces.

In the given example, the keywords are:
Optocoupler, 6pin,  wide (10mm pin, 8mm Pad), like CNY17, RevA, 31Mar2011
therefore actual keywords are
Optocoupler,
6pin,
wide
(10mm
pin,
8mm
Pad),
like
CNY17,
RevA,
31Mar2011

They are just a copy of the comment, and I am thinking very very badly
defined, at least because many keywords have no sense.

If you type the keyword actually defined in this list: "CNY17," you have
a list of footprints.
