Default Multiple word search

Looking for a way to simultaneously search for several words at once.

Like cat, dog, ferret, gerbil & hamster. If any of these pop up in document X it would either highlight them all or like a normal ctrl+F search start at the top stopping at each word along the way. Also if i typed in all of those words replace all with animals or just delete them all would be nice options.

I know this seems small and I wouldn't bug but I do this sort of thing at work and home all the time. I could save so much time if I could search for multiple words simultaneously.

I prefer to use Microsoft word but I am open to trying different programs.

This seems so simple but after quite a bit of searching (like hours literally) I still haven't found out how. Should be as easy as cat AND dog AND ferret or something but I have had no luck so far.

thanks for any and all help you can offer.
