match pattern search for multiple words?

Hi, so my question involves the Match Pattern Function. I know how to use it and to open a file and have it search for a specific word. That works fine. But now I want it to search for more than just one word. Can I give it multiple words separated by commas or spaces? Anyway, that's it. Just how to make the Match Pattern Function search for more than 1 word? Thanks.

You can't do this with the Match Pattern function, but you can with the Match Regular Expression.  Simply separate the two words with a pipe (|).
