I always wondered how this C-c a s search should work. I can only enter
one word, just like the OP.
None of these (valid) regexps works here:
,----
| (foo|bar)
| \(foo\|bar\)
| \\(foo|bar\\)
`----
This does not work either
,----
| \(foo\)\|\(bar\)
`----
nor does
,----
| \(\(foo\)\|\(bar\)\)
`----
or simply
,----
| foo|bar
`----
