Default Formula for searching spreadsheet

Hi,
I am using the following formula to search a sheet for data and then return
it to a summary sheet in the same workbook.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A5,FGU!$A$2:$H$2742,4,FALSE)) ,"
",VLOOKUP($A5,FGU!$A$2:$H$2742,4,FALSE))

$A5 is the reference in the summary sheet and is a code of a product e.g.
AP282003. My problem is that in the sheet I am searching the products can
have a letter at the end e.g. AP282003M or AP282003MH or just be AP282003.
How can I modify the code to pick up the all 3 items?
