I want to create "Or" search for three or more values

I want to create a Filter for a value entered by the users.
I want to use the Contains operator of the AdvancedFilter to perform fuzzy searches.

For example, if the data contains [aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd,eee,abd,def],
If the user enters [a], [aaa,abd] will be returned.
Also, if the user enters [a,d], [aaa,ddd,abd,def] will be returned.

I was able to create up to the above behavior.
However, if more than three values are entered, the operation will not work as expected.

For example, if the users enters [a,c,d], I want to search in the form (a OR c) OR (c OR d).
I expect [aaa,cccc,ddd,abd,def] to be returned.

In the case of the following code, I believe that only [abd,ccc] is returned, and that it is adapting in the form (a OR c) AND (c OR d).

can you give me some good advice?
Sorry for the bad English, but thank you in advance.

        const metadata = options.dataViews && options.dataViews[0] && options.dataViews[0].metadata;
        const newColumn = metadata && metadata.columns && metadata.columns[0];
        let searchText = "";

        if (options.dataViews && options.dataViews.length > 0 && this.column && (!newColumn || this.column.queryName !== newColumn.queryName)) {
            this.performSearch("");

        } else if (options?.jsonFilters?.length > 0) {
            searchText = `${(<IAdvancedFilter[]>options.jsonFilters).map((f) => f.conditions.map((c) => c.value)).join(" ")}`;
