how can I use multiple values in where clause

for ex:index=xyz sourcetype=abc | dedup name | where name="2009-2274" 2009-2271"

This is giving me an error, can I use OR clause to get field values for the above mentioned values

Yes, you can use OR. The actual issue there is probably that you are missing the word OR and missing a quote before the value 2009-2271.

Multiple conditions can be checked by the where clause as shown below :

| inputlookup test.csv | where like(field1, "IP") and not like(field2, "Pass")

Yes, you can use OR, like this where name="abc" OR name="xyz" OR you can use ... | search name="abc" OR name="xyz". Having said that, you should always try to reduce as much as you can in the first (implicit) search command in terms of efficiency. So I would change your query to

index=xyz sourcetype=abc (name="2009-2274" OR name="2009-2271") | dedup name
