This is not something DNS was designed to accommodate. DNS is not a
directory service. If you have an exact name, DNS can efficiently
resolve it for you, but substring searches are inefficient to say the
least. Your only hope would be to somehow get a copy of the .com domain
(good luck!), all howevermany gigabytes it is these days, and then you
could search the zone file for the desired string.

Any of the various search engines would be a better choice for this.
