Default searching for multiple text strings

How do you search for multiple words in any given cell. The order of the
words being searched does not matter.

i.e. If I am looking for the words 'brake' and 'clutch':

1 "John's Brake and Clutch"
2 "Jerry's Clutch Repair"
3 "Impact Clutch/Brake"
4 "Brakes and Clutches r Us"

If want the search to work for 1, 3, and 4. Any ideas?
