whois -h completewhois.com ASsingle-number
 - will be interpreted as query for ASN
whois -h completewhois.com x.x.x.x 
 - will be interpreted as query for IP

If engine does not autodetect it properly and you need to force certain 
type of query prefix the query with "ip#" for forcing it to be ip query
and "asn#" for ASNs.
