Discussion and Answer

OR es con una barra horizontal ( | ). Type debe ser "regex" (eso está en RegularExpression)

%SEARCH{ "esto|OrEstoOtro" type="regex" ...

Thank you Enrique. In English for non-Spanish speaking people:

In a RegularExpression search, an OR search can be done using parenthesis and vertical bars. To search for "one" AND ("two" OR "three") you can specify this regular expression search: %SEARCH{ "one;(two|three)" type="regex" .... Note that the semicolon specifies and AND search; it is a TWiki specific extension.

You can also use SQL-like queries, see QuerySearch.
