use egrep

    rpm -qa | egrep -i 'pattern|pattern2|patren3'

egrep can contain ~64Kb text

Newer versions of grep include the -E switch:

$ rpm -qa | grep -Ei 'pattern|pattern2|patren3'

You can also use the below command to find multiple packages at once:

-rpm -qa |grep -e mysql -e jre -e jdk -i
