You have to put the formula in 2 cells horizontally and enter it with ctrl +
shift & enter
You cannot return a range in one cell, you could use

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("CMT",A4)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH( "DIVS",A4))),I4&J4,"")

or if you want a space between

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("CMT",A4)),ISNUMBER(SEARCH( "DIVS",A4))),I4&" "&J4,"")
