Once you're dealing with a variable number of words, the best you can do is use something like:
Austrian * company


or
Austrian (*) company
but that might include just one word or dozens. Other wildcards could be used to exclude ranges that include punctuation and the like, so as to reduce the likelihood of false matches, but the matches would still need checking.
