This code - i do not think it means what you think it means. Specifically, it doesn't mean "is either of ST_zeroMatch or ST_zeroMatch2 in self.webpg"; what it means is "apply the 'or' opereator to ST_zeroMatch and ST_zeroMatch2, then check if the result is in self.webpg". The result of applying the or operator to two nonempty strings is the left-hand string; your code is thus equivalent to if ST_zeroMatch in self.webpg: Which will work in cases where your page says 'You found 0 products', but not in cases where it says 'There are no products matching your selection'. What you want is: if (ST_zeroMatch in self.webpg) or (ST_zeroMatch2 in self.webpg): Or something like that. You say that you have a single-threaded version of this that works; presumably, you have a working version of this logic in there. Did you write the threaded version from scratch?
