Using OR with regex

Hello,

Is it possible to user OR with regex?

For example i have search | regex something="", and I need | regex something="" OR | regex something2=""

Maybe should I change construction? Any ideas?

 

Thank you.

That's when you use alternative match in regex

| regex "something1|something2"

important note, I cant merge regular expressions, because they can be in different order.
