You can use the alternation operator, the pipe symbol: |

Regular expression:
wordA( |\r\n)wordB

This searches for "wordA wordB" as well as "wordA
wordB".

Perhaps the following regular expression suits your needs as well, in a more flexible way:
wordA *(\r\n)?wordB

This searches for wordA, any amount of space characters without requiring any, a single linebreak if present, then wordB.
