I think you are asking for smth you dont really mean if you want to search for any Part of the word, you litterally searching letters

e.g. Search {Jack, Jim} in "John and Shelly are cool"

is searching all letters in the names {J,a,c,k,i,m}

*J*ohn *a*nd Shelly *a*re

and for that you don't need REG-EX :)

in my opinion, A Suffix Tree can help you with that
