Finding all words

Hello,

Is there a way to compose a regular expression in Vim that will find all
the words I want, irrespective of the order in which they occur? For
example:

Some text...
The quick red fox jumps over the lazy brown dogs.
Some other text...

I want to find 'quick', 'brown', 'lazy' and 'jumps'. I don't know the order
in which they occur, so something like 'quick.*brown.*lazy.*jumps' won't
work. I'm trying to avoid a complicated/ugly expression that includes all
possible orderings like '\%(brown.*lazy\)\|\%(lazy.*brown\)'.

I'm hoping there is a more graceful way to do this already. I'm happy to
write a function to convert a sequence of words to an expression, even if
it's the 'all combinations' one.

Thank you,

I, too, shall something make and glory in the making.
