Special character in Search

ermDT

I am using the following code to search a column.

search( this.value.replace( /;/g, "|" ), true, false )

This replaces a ";" with a "|". However I cannot find it documented anywhere why dividing search terms with a "|" means "OR" Are there any other special characters that I can use in search?

I want to have the "OR" ability along with the default functionality. Using the regex breaks the default functionality like using a space to separate multiple search terms.
