Unless you're looking up a specific person's registered armory from their
blazon, forget you ever heard of Blazon Pattern search.
(Teceangl's apocryphal tale: There are 19 terms registered for canines, and
every last one gets no difference from a dog/wolf/fox.  You could pattern
search for days and miss several, like the "saluki bitch".)
Go to the link to the "SCA Ordinary" 
(direct URL: http:/ oanda.sca.org/ordinary/index.html)
and use the categories.
When checking armory with only one charge on the field, like this, RfS
(link to RfS: www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/regs.html)
X.2. says that if the type of every primary charge is changed, other armory
cannot conflict.
So all you'd need to check for yours is bends sinister.  B to Bend sinister.

Thanks for asking so many questions.  The art of the question asked is, alas,
dying.
