Search for "KB2919442" is found

Search for "2919442" nothing is found....

The patch ID is a text field content, not a number. The name of the patch
includes the "KB" prefix, so if you search for a hotfix named "2919442"
there will be no exact matches.

The WMIC command does have pattern-matching capabilities:

WMIC QFE WHERE (hotfixid like '%2919442') GET * /VALUE

but it's easier just to prepend "KB" to the number (and you don't need to
remember that WMIC uses '%' as its wildcard).

Irritating, yes. Strange, no.
