That's not how Find/Replace works in Word - or any other Office program produced by Microsoft or its competitors that I'm aware of. What you're describing is not wildcards; it's simply a series of alternate expressions. Besides which, you won't find a Microsoft page that suggests you can use | as a wildcard Find separator...
