That's the idea!

Whatsay, John?

I suggest when seperate words are ment,
and give a multiline alternative:

================================

function myTest(text) {
  r = text.replace(/\n/,'[newline]') + ' -> '  
  r += /\bone\b.*\btwo\b|\btwo\b.*\bone\b/.test(text);
  r += '<br>'
  document.write( r ); 
};

myTest('two one');
myTest('one two');
myTest('onetwo');
myTest('two ones');
myTest('two \n one');

function myTestMulti(text) {
  r = text.replace(/\n/,'[newline]') + ' -> '  
  r += /\bone\b[\s\S]*\btwo\b|\btwo\b[\s\S]*\bone\b/.test(text);
  r += '<br>'
 document.write( r ); 
};

myTestMulti('two \n one');

=================================

two one -> true
one two -> true
onetwo -> false
two ones -> false
two [newline] one -> false
two [newline] one -> true
