How to search for multiple strings in a file using grep

I wanted to search for both ERROR and FAIL in a file using grep.

Came across this:

grep -E "ERROR|FAIL" filename

Or
grep "ERROR\|FAIL" filename

For searching a file for lines not containing a string

grep -v "PASS" filename 

Reference:
Grep OR, AND and NOT operators
