Is there a way to search for multiple words in one search instance, or is the feature only able to find all uses of one word at a time?
i.e. inputing a list of different inappropriate words in the search bar of the transcript function to fill out.
Thanks for the question, @diego27513395vg4v. What happens when you try this currently? @Stan Jones, have you tried this? This sounds like a feature request. Let us now.
Thanks,
Kevin

Currently, searching for any words groups them. For example: searching "term1, term 2" will only find results that match the whole phrase vs all results for "term1"and all results "term2". I am not sure if there is a specific way to simplify multiple term-searches before suggesting a feature request. Thanks!

Yes, it's a feature request; the regular PR functions require one search at a time.
However, see this post from staff @alexander-riss regarding undocumented regex search:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/transcribing-options/m-p/12758296#M395784
In your case, to find either of the words "we" or "and," this works for me:
\\R{(?:we|and)}
The \\R{} was @alexander-riss' special code to expose Regex in the Text panel search.
The ()'s are part of the regex expression.
Note to me: in a previous example I gave involving finding punctuation, square brackets - [] - were used. Online today I learned not to confuse round brackets used in this example searching for text characters with square brackets that were used in a search for a character class.
I'm not great at Regex; I search online to see if I can find an option. It is powerful and can be very complex. I use it to manipulate formatting of text files in Notepad++, for example, to convert srt format to something else.
Edit to add: working today in PR 25.0.0.
