Program to find first occurrence of a word

/**
 * C program to find the first occurrence of a word in a string

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAX_SIZE 100 //Maximum size of the string

int main()
{
    char string[MAX_SIZE], word[MAX_SIZE];
    int i, index, found = 0;

    /* Reads a string from user and word from user */
    printf("Enter any string: ");
    gets(string);
    printf("Enter word to be searched: ");
    gets(word);


    /* Searches in the string word by word */
    index = 0;
    while(string[index] != '\0')

        }
        
        /* If the word is found then get out of loop */

        {
            break;
        }

        index++;
    }
    
    /* 
     * If the word is found print success message
     */
    if(found == 1)
    {

    }
    else
