OK. That was poorly worded. Lemmie try again.
The fgrep I am using does not have a -w switch. What does it do?

So try this, and I think it'll give you the results you're
looking for. And the -i is optional, depending on your mood.
Running just (f)?grep with no string boundaries will get you
false matches.

Suggest you use the -w switch to avoid this.
Um, there are more variations of grep out there that you can shake
a stick at. Many fgreps do have a -w switch.
