Using TextPad to search for multiple strings containing vertical bars

Question

all. I'm using TextPad and I am having difficulty finding answers on how to search for multiple expressions that each contain the vertical bar character.

Specifically, what I would like to do is search multiple documents for any of the following four strings. Note: The strings I want to search for are not bolded.

String 1. word1 |

String 2. | word1

String 3. word2 |

String 4. | word2

You need to use regex to find multiple expressions that have a common pattern. Use find in files to do this across multiple files. This is another thread that I believe has what you're looking for.
