                   Or

Requires that at least one ParseExpression is found. If two expressions match, the expression that matches the longest string will be used. May be constructed using the '^' operator.

Example:

   # construct Or using '^' operator
   
   number = Word(nums) ^ Combine(Word(nums) + '.' + Word(nums))
   print(number.searchString("123 3.1416 789"))

prints:

   [['123'], ['3.1416'], ['789']]
