Okay, so I made the following script for this, and called it "xx":

#! /bin/bash
ls -l | grep -i $1

And it works for my user, by invoking it as ./xx

So now I put it into /usr/bin, so that I can avoid the leading "./", but 
I have to use sudo to run it, despite having the proper permissions:

[root@FED bin]# pwd
/usr/bin
[root@FED bin]# ll xx
-rwx--x--x. 1 root root 37 Jan 25 15:22 xx

Any ideas why I have to run this as root or sudo?
