If I write more than one word as a single entry, will it only delete that if it appears as the exact phrase or does it treat the space as and?

For example, if a single entry is "foo bar", will it only delete "this sentence contains foo bar." and not "this sentence contains foo and it also contains bar."?

Or must I use some special perl commands like (foo|bar) for both foo and bar, and (foo bar) for an exact phrase?

Thanks!

As it says right there in the plugin: "Entries can use full Perl Regular Expressions.", i.e. whatever you enter is treated as a regular expression.

"foo bar" would only match this exact phrase (with the space).

Exact phrase then. So what if I want to treat it like and (as in only censor this if both words are used)?

You would need to do two rules: /\bfoo\b.*\bbar\b/i and /\bbar\b.*\bfoo\b/i That says find the word "foo" then skip over stuff until you find the word "bar" and don't worry about case sensitivity. The \b says that there is a word boundary. So "/\bfoo\b/" will match foo but not food. The . says match any one character and * says match the prior character 0 or more times. That allows you to skip over a bunch of stuff until the next match.
