Description of the Issue


Hello guys. I'm using notepad++ for log viewing, and thought it would be great if you'd allow to search more then one text string in your ctrl+f menu.
it could be like a simple "or", but I think that would make life of many people easier.

@pdanielewski1, what you are requesting can be done using the "Regular Expression" search mode .

The actual technique would be something like this:
Find what: string1|string2|string3
Search mode: Regular expression
