I know this is 10 years too late but you could have just split by ' ' as well:

string[] split= keyword.Split(new char[] { ',', ';', ' ' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

Because you're also splitting by the space char AND instructing the split to remove the empty entries, you'll have what you need.
