I've not used that spell checker, but many of them have a list of candidate 
words, against which they check a suspect word.  Some of them even have 
separate user and system lists.  So try:

find ~ /usr -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep Xandos

If you know at most how many days ago you added it, you can add "-mtime -8"  
(or whatever) to find's options (before the "-print0", if that matters) to
speed up the process.

Now if it uses some compressed format, if you can identify the file, maybe 
an appropriate compressor can be found for it.

Those are brute-force methods.  There may be nicer methods.
