Maybe this is what you want:

QListViewItem * QListView::findItem ( const QString & text, int column, 
ComparisonFlags compare = ExactMatch | CaseSensitive ) const

Finds the first list view item in column column, that matches text and returns 
the item, or returns 0 of no such item could be found. Pass OR-ed together 
Qt::StringComparisonMode values in the compare flag, to control how the 
matching is performed. The default comparison mode is case-sensitive, exact 
match.
