regex: AND operator

I'm wondering if there's a more compact way to match both 'foo' and 'bar' appearing on the same line than:  \(foo*bar\)\|\(bar*foo\)

I also intend to match more than two terms, so I need something more compact. Eg., \(term1*term2*term3\) ...etc...

There's a reference to "a non-consuming regular expression" at stackoverflow, but I am unsure if its available in vim or if it's even the most economical way to write the pattern.

Reference:

Any ideas?
