It could be as simple as quoting your search string:-
It's an odd search string though. From the man page I have on RHEL 6.1, I have:-
So that you mean that you are looking for a record that starts (doesn't have to be at the beginning of the line) with an S, then the H is optional and then I get confused.
Are you trying to use the ? as a single character each time?
I would think a better search string would be more like:-
to represent Start of line, SH, then any 3 characters, then US. The remainder of the line can be ignored.
Do either of these meet your needs?
