Compose complex queries based on Propel (ORM)

Question

PHP

I will be very glad if someone will explain to me how to create complex structures in this very "propeller".
Task:
Add to an existing model, query part

$products = \SProductsQuery::create()
                ->joinWithI18n(\MY_Controller::getCurrentLocale())
                ->leftJoin('ProductVariant')
                ->joinMainCategory()
                ->where('MainCategory.Active = ?', 1)
                ->orderBy('ProductVariant.Stock', 'DESC')
                ->distinct()
                ->filterByActive(true);

//....тут пропущен некоторый участок кода - различные условия и проверки .....

$products = $products
                ->useI18nQuery(\MY_Controller::getCurrentLocale())
                ->filterByName('%' . $search_str . '%')
                ->endUse();
$products = $products->orWhere('ProductVariant.Number LIKE ?', '%' . $search_str . '%');
$products = $products->orWhere('SProducts.Id LIKE ?', $search_str);

And after that I need to add one more condition, like:

OR WHERE (SProductsI18n.NAME LIKE = '$someString' AND SProductsI18n.NAME LIKE '$oneMoreString')

Kill, but I can not understand how it is done on the propeller.
Tried to work as with PDO - to betray an array.

$stringArr = array($someString, $oneMoreString);
 $products = $products->orWhere('SProductsI18n.Name LIKE ? AND SProductsI18n.Name LIKE ?', $stringArr);

Something doesn't work. Tried to understand how this Propel works. But at the fifth level of inheritance - the head is spinning.

Do not suffer, write a couple of lines of human SQL. It is clear that you want beautifully, that's all, but sometimes it's easier to write the good old SQL.
