Ansible error handling for status code using failed_when

I am trying to error handle in ansible for http status code. My use case is to check for status code 400(fail code) and it needs to pass for 2 known error conditions. Like if content has particular search strings in 400 response. Sample task:

-name: create repo
uri:
    url:
    method: POST
    body_format:json
    .
    .
    status_code: 
        - 201 
        - 400
    register: value
    changed_when: value.status == 201
    failed_when: value.status == 400 and
                 value.content|default() is not search ("found duplicate value")

Above is working but Expecting another search string with or condition to the same and 400 like.

-name: create repo
 uri:
    url:
    method: POST
    body_format:json
    .
    .
    status_code: 
        - 201 
        - 400
    register: value
    changed_when: value.status == 201
    failed_when: value.status == 400 and
                 ( value.content|default() is not search ("found 1st duplicate value") or value.content|default() is not search ("found 2nd duplicate value") )

How to handle either condition 2 or's with the 'and'..

i think you have parenthesis problem and you have to add simple quote: try:

failed_when: (value.status == 400) and
             '(value.content|default() is not search ("found 1st duplicate value") or value.content|default() is not search ("found 2nd duplicate value"))'
