Twython keywords and LEDs

Question

I'm creating a project using a Raspberry Pi and a berry clip. So what I've programmed it to do is (using twython) the code searches for twitters with a particular keyword the user enters and when it finds it, it shows you the tweet and the LED flash. I want to expand this on my berry clip and use all 6 LEDs with 6 different keywords. I managed to program it to search for 6 keywords but so far I can't find out how to make each led depending the keyword. For example if the stream finds the 1st keyword the first LED will flash. If it finds the 2nd keyword then the 2nd LED will flash,etc,etc. I tried using if statements inside the first if statement (if 'text' in data:) by adding if TERMS in 'text': but it didn't work. This is my code so far:

#!/usr/bin/python
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from twython import TwythonStreamer

ledList=[4,17,22,10,9,11]

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(ledList,GPIO.OUT)

TERMS=(raw_input("Please type the first keyword"));
TERMS2=(raw_input("Please type the second keyword"));
TERMS3=(raw_input("Please type the third keyword"));
TERMS4=(raw_input("Please type the fourth keyword"));
TERMS5=(raw_input("Please type the fifth keyword")); 
TERMS6=(raw_input("Please type the sixth keyword"));

termsList=[TERMS,TERMS1,TERMS2,TERMS3,TERMS4,TERMS5,TERMS6]   

APP_KEY='xxxxxxxxxxxx'
APP_SECRET='xxxxxxxxx'
OAUTH_TOKEN='xxxxxxxxx'
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET='xxxxxxxxx'

class streamer(TwythonStreamer):
     def success(self,data):
           if 'text' in data:
               tweet_data=data['text'].encode('utf-8')
               print (tweet_data)
               GPIO.output(4,True)
               time.sleep(1)
               GPIO.output(4,False)

try:
     stream = streamer(APP_KEY,APP_SECRET,OAUTH_TOKEN,OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
     stream.statuses.filter(track=termsList)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print ('ending')
        GPIO.cleanup()

it's just like you said, you need to check which term is in the tweet text. (i don't know much about raspberry pi, but i imagine the following will light the i-th when the i-th term is found in the tweet)

class streamer(TwythonStreamer):
     def success(self,data):
           if 'text' in data:
               tweet_data=data['text'].encode('utf-8')
               for i, term in enumerate(termList):
               if term in tweet_data:
                   GPIO.output(i,True)
                   time.sleep(1)
                   GPIO.output(i,False)
