If your ListView control is called ListView1, issue:
Set itmX = ListView1.FindItem([Searched_String], [0_or_1_or_2], , 1)
[Searched_String] is string you looking for. [0_or_1_or_2] specifies where string is searched (0 - Text property; 1 - SubItems property; 2 - Tag property). 1 is specified partially matching search, you asking for.
Also refer to the "FindItem Method (ListView Control)" topic in the MSDN.
