If you're trying to parse something from a command
line/search box, you'll
need more than regex to accomplish a boolean query --
basically, a series
of regexes to extract the different terms/conditions into
appropriate
arrays to be used when performing the actual search.  That
said, to
replicate the functionality of such a search, you could do
this:

(french.*?food)|(food.*?food)

That'll find french food or food french with any number of
characters in
between.
