I don't think you can efficiently do OR conditions from simple search
URI.
Better to use Query DSL.
If you are planning to use ES at all you should learn Query DSL there
is no way around it.

here is the link to boolean query DSL:

You can do it a couple of ways:

type:pen type:pencil type:ink

Or shorter:

type:(pen pencil ink)

Example:

% curl -s 'localhost:9200/test/_search?q=type:(ink%20pencil)&pretty=1'
{
"took" : 3,
"timed_out" : false,
"_shards" : {
"total" : 5,
"successful" : 5,
"failed" : 0
},
"hits" : {
"total" : 2,
"max_score" : 0.04500804,
"hits" : [ {
"_index" : "test",
"_type" : "foo",
"_id" : "2",
"_score" : 0.04500804, "_source" : {"type":"pencil"}
}, {
"_index" : "test",
"_type" : "foo",
"_id" : "3",
"_score" : 0.04500804, "_source" : {"type":"ink"}
} ]
}
