Are you familiar with regular expressions? Here is a quick lesson:
*xm would typically mean zero or more characters followed by the letters "xm". Not many words fit that description except for XM itself, which is why I advised you to use that one.
xm* would typically mean the letters "xm" followed by one or more characters. In this instance, you would still get XM as a valid search result, but your would also get words like Xmas, too.
This was not meant to be an all-encompassing thesis on regular expressions, just a couple of highlights... hope this helps! (Then again, I could be totally blowing smoke up your A$$...  )

I was kinda hoping for a lesson in Unix commands............
Seems like, unless memory fails, ?xm would work there too...
But then, that was in my PREVIOUS life...
