How can I make quicksearch use multiple criteria?

Question

I have the quicksearch plugin for jquery working on an input, to allow a table to be filtered:

$('input#table-filter').quicksearch('table tbody tr');

However, I would now like to make an adjustment whereby a user can type in multiple criteria (eg using a text area, with each term on a separate line), and the filter shows all rows that match any of the criteria.

It appears as though all you have to do is add an option to it.

$('#table-filter').quicksearch('table tbody tr',{ 
    prepareQuery: function(val){
        return val.toLowerCase().split('\n');
    }
});

this causes it to split the input value on new line rather than space.
