Default Search for multiple words in document

You can't do that, but you could probably set up a macro to do something
along these lines - though '*' is too much of a blunt instrument to be used
like this. What do you want to do with the found terms?

I want to be able to search for multiple words in a document at one
time using the "OR" operator.

For example, I want to search for:
science OR physics OR germs OR gene OR molecular biology OR
mathematics

Is this possible? If it is possible (I know I'm being greedy here),
can a wild card be used too?

For example, I want to search for:
scie* OR phys* OR ger* OR molecular bio* OR math*

Thank you very much in advance for your replies.
