Default Find and Replace all words that have a certain value in them, not just the value itself.

I want to be able to do a find/replace on all words that have "moogoo"
as part of the word. For example, if it finds "Franklinmoogoo" I want
it to replace the entire word with nothing. Currently I can only
replace moogoo with nothing, leaving me with Franklin, which I don't
want. I've tried using the wild card and finding "*moogoo" but for
some reason that finds the entire string of characters, including
spaces, before "moogoo." So, if my sentence said, "Hi my name is
Franklinmoogoo." It would highlight the entire sentence to replace.
I just want Word to highlight Franklinmoogoo and replace that. Any
ideas?

Gracias,
Sean
