Common usage for a word like figure is "see figure~\ref{fig:blah}",  
so just adding the spaces probably won't be enough. You can try to  
use regular expressions:

\sfigure[\s~]

(search for whitespace (space, tab, return), figure (not case- 
sensitive, if you want) followed by whitespace or a tilde).
