Multiple words, one search

[return2300]

I'm trying to simplify some text searches that I do on a regular basis. Is there a way to run 1 search through the document instead of searching each individual word?

I would like for it to stop and select the word as if I were searching normally so that I can make the appropriate change since each result has a different action that needs to be done to it.

Also can this be done including partial words or punctuation?

For example. Search for (at the same time) cauc, retard, et al;

Trying to reword instances of the words Caucasian, mental retardation, as well as consistently format et al.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
