Yes, you can enter multiple items to find in Bulk Rename Utility using the Replace (3) section by separating them with a pipe symbol (|) or using multiple replacements.

For example, in the Replace box you can enter:
fred|freddy|frederick

and specify the replacement text in the With box.

Alternatively, you can use the word "or" in a regular expression in the RegEx (1) section like:
fred|fredd|frederick

Both methods allow matching multiple alternatives.

So you do NOT need to type "or" literally; use the pipe symbol | to separate multiple find strings.
