If you want to check the accesslog for multiple expressions simply type the strings what you want to check in a sequence separated by spaces. That should work.
E.g.
Enter the regular expression to grep.
[]> john cnn.com
will list when the userid "John" tried to access that URL.

I tried using a space between the expressions and not having any luck.
any other ideas? I tried name URL

I had no luck getting a double grep matching by using a space.
I did however have positive results by using standard regex like such:
10.1.1.101.*website.com
This will match a line that contains the user IP (10.1.1.101), anything in between (.*) and the website I'm looking for (website.com).

That's correct, grep uses regex, so just a space will not work.
. = any character, so technically
10.1.1.101.*website.com
will match with
105151w101sdjghfjgdkfhgdfjgdkfhgdjfwebsite.com
as well as
10.1.1.101 abracadabra blah blah website.com

That worked, I was able to get the information I was looking for.
