Splunk Search

Output events from two different logs/Session IDs

I have a simple search that goes as such:

sessionid=UNIQIESESSIONID "connected to "

This outputs a single logline/event from the Session log contains the string "connected to "

Is there a way I can output this from two different unique session ID's? I thought I could do something like:

sessionid=UNIQIESESSIONID "connected to " OR sessionid=UNIQIESESSIONID "connected to "

But that did not work. Any suggestions?
