regex - Search in VS Code for multiple terms

Question

Suppose I search on VS Code the terms 'word1 word2'. Then it finds all the occurrences where 'word1' is followed by 'word2'. In reality I want to find all the files where word1 and word2 occur, but they don't have to be consecutive. How can I do it?

Answer 1

Use regex flag and search for (word1[sS ]*word2)|(word2[sS ]*word1)
