Hi! I'm wondering if it's possible to have multiple words in one field in mail rules?

In this image I'm using one line per word, but I would like to use one line for all the words I want the rule to look for in the mail.

So it would look something like this:

But I don't know if it is possible to separate the words in that one line. If I use , to try and separate -
then mail will look for [WORD 1, WORD 2] as the whole thing, rather than WORD 1 and then WORD 2. I hope you're following me on this...

So, does anyone know if there is a way to separate words and use them in one line in mail rules?

Thanks so much!

Not that I know of... but if you change the condition from "IF ANY..." to "IF ALL..." it will only filter messages that contain both (all) conditions... not sure if that helps or not.
