How do I filter to include tracks having one of a large list of strings in any field?

In V2.44 I could filter to include only tracks having one of a list of UPC/EAN/GTINs in any field:

```
Field: _ALL Filter: 00008637209025|00008637211721|00008637209025|00008637211721|...

```

Then in V2.44d the | operator was removed, and OR added. Now, replacing | by OR in the above does not work - it matches **_all_** tracks. Which AFAICT fails to accord with any interpretation of the docs that I can see.

Thanks.

Thanks Dano - that works.

Though incredibly slowly - reporting separately.
