This works very well.

But, say I don't click the Add button here to add the second string.
How does it think about the filter?

It seems to let most everything through. The first required string is
there in most cases.

Like, if I call the first string "_required_" to put on the Rule tab
and I number the alternate possible strings, string1, and string2,
say, then how does it make a conclusion in any case, or when neither
string1 nor string2 is present?

You already answered this. But if you say OR between the two Tabs on
the window, its feels odd.

It is another logic than just: string1 OR string2.

And I did get that when I added two strings in just the main Rule tab.
Like:
_required_
string1 | string2

But then the alternates don't create a list, one below the other.
