It doesn't, here.
I'll look into it.
Or the interpretation (mode) just can depend ont he active view mode ?
I like the idea that searching the file is independent from the way it
is displayed.
You can display a hex dump (or binary view) and still look for text
strings...
If it helps, I can make the default mode of the radio list (text or hex
mode) depend on the active view mode.
Anyway. what's the differenc if i search for a string "44 49 47 49 54 41 4c"
or for s tring "DIGITAL" - when both strings are displayed, couldn't you
just search the display (buffer) for either of them ?
I don't search the display, I search the file, so what is displayed on
the screen is not relevant (implementation-wise, there is no "display
buffer" which holds the hex dump as a string, that can be search for "44
49 47").
The difference between hex and text is not big when we're dealing with
ASCII, but once you start searching for text with extended characters
(in different languages), each character translates into more than one
hex byte.
(btw. marking a hex selection is somehwat tricky by now ;)
Please elaborate:
what do mean by "marking a hex selection" ?
If you are in hex display mode and you search for something (either text
or hex, doesn't matter) - the found text is highlighted with
blue-background on the hex-dump part, and with blue-forground on the
text-dump side.
| Not sure I understood that - the search dialog closes when the user

That's the automatically part.
However, i may discover that i need to finetune my search,
or may just like to proceed with another one.
Currently, you press "CTRL+F" to find something, and then you can press
F3 to repeat the same search again without the search-dialog even
appearing (or SHIFT+F3 to search backgrounds).
If you want to refine your search, you press CTRL+F again, and the
search dialog appears (and I will soon make it appear with the previous
search text already in the entry-box).
So what difference does it make if the search dialog disappears or
remains visible ? you still press one key to search again...
