How to use IN clause in a search string?

Why does the following string work:

url=*string1* OR url=*mystring2*

But, this one does not work?

url in (*mystring1*, *mystring2*)

Unbelievable! Sucks being a newbie.

It accepted "in" as a reserved word (color change). Never crossed my mind to test "IN". Shame!

Unbelievable. It accepted "in" as a reserved word (different color in syntax).

Sucks being a newbie.

Thank you!
