Must be misunderstanding search regex

shaneisme

Hello all,

I've been messing around with the following example:

http://datatables.net/examples/api/regex.html

If I, for instance, wanted to search for all accountants as well as software engineers, wouldn't my search string be something like: accountant|software ?

I admit I'm a newb with regex, but I had read you can use the "|" character as if it was a comma-separated list. So I'm obviously missing something.

Can someone clarify this point for me?
