Selecting strict usernames in Syslog search

All,

I've been struggling to get regex statements to work under the syslog search area, but the only thing that seems to work is *.

Let's say that I have 5 usernames:

bob
bobA
bob smith
bobby smith
bobblehead

If I do a search for *bob*, I get all of the usernames above. I NEED to only get "bob". That's it. Is there a way to filter through and retrieve just bob?

Thanks,

John

The only thing I can think of would be to include surrounding characters ie "* bob *" or "*: bob has*" "* bob *" would get bob and bob smith, but non of the others.
