How create rule that searches BOTH body and subject (OR not AND)?

's Computer Specifications

When I check the boxes in Advanced Rules for finding a term in the body of a
message and then the subject line, the resulting line ANDs it -- that is the
term has to appear in both the subject and the body.
This is not what I want. I want to screen emails where this term appears in
either the subject line or body. That is, in Boolean terms, I want to OR
this, not AND it.

I think you'd have to create two rules to do that...

Wouldn't the "with specific words in the subject or body" condition do what you want?
