Using \(Word1\)\|\(Word2\) works for me. If you find it troublesome to
type a lot of these escaped parens, you might want to try
smartparens-mode for auto insertion of the closing _escaped_ paren.
As an example, if you type "\(", smartparens will automatically insert
"\)" after point. You can even navigate over these groups via sexps
commands.

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
`----

I forgot to mention that I did not use C-c a s, but created an agenda
and pressed = to start a regexp-match.

Yes, then the usual regexp syntax works:
,----
| \(foo\|bar\)
`----
but what about filtering in the agenda (in search view), using {} []?
Either this is broken and does nothing or I do not really understand what
,----
| http://orgmode.org/manual/Filtering_002flimiting-agenda-items.html
`----
tries to tell me ...

= \(word\) should work.
c-c a s {\(word\)} should work [possibly depending on text search settings]
the full power of org-agenda-filter-by-tag is not yet implemented with
text search.
if it were, that would be EXCELLENT.
even better would be searching the body text and not just the headline!
