Nothing. Even plugged into my iMac and looked in my documents folder. It is finding four FAA safety documents under my items and 2 entries for text in books (dm and d-m).
Am I doing something wrong? Or missing something I'm normally pretty good at following instructions.

I believe that I was typing the command correctly, and have seen the command referenced elsewhere on this board. But you never know, perhaps I am, oh never mind.
The search results window on my PW2 changed after the 5.7.2.1 update that I got on my PW2 sometime last month. Prior to 5.7.2.1, the search results gave me a page of items on my pw2 that I could page through. As you probably know, after 5.7.2.1, the search results are grouped by type of item (items on my kindle, good reads, kindle store, etc,) I am wondering if the 5.7.2.1 firmware update "broke: the ";dm" command. Just a thought. Hope I am explaining this clearly.
Also, when I was going through my documents folder just know when the PW2 was plugged into my iMac, i noted an odd temporary compressed file. After looking around for a couple of minutes, I found its related permanent files (with the same date and time stamp). So I got brave and deleted that temporary compressed file thinking that it might have been fouling things up.
I ejected and then unplugged from my iMac and then restarted. The e-book in question was a kindle single on climate change that I was able to access after completing the procedure in the above paragraph.
After my wonderings on my PW2, it is back plugged into an outlet in the event it needs more time to re-index.
