Module Contents
---------------

.. py:data:: SWIG_PYTHON_LEGACY_BOOL

.. py:data:: SEARCH_UP

   search towards lower addresses


.. py:data:: SEARCH_DOWN

   search towards higher addresses


.. py:data:: SEARCH_NEXT

   skip the starting address when searching. this bit is useful only for search(), bin_search(), find_reg_access(). find_.. functions skip the starting address automatically. 
           


.. py:data:: SEARCH_CASE

   case-sensitive search (case-insensitive otherwise)


.. py:data:: SEARCH_REGEX

   regular expressions in search string (supported only for the text search)


.. py:data:: SEARCH_NOBRK

   do not test if the user clicked cancel to interrupt the search


.. py:data:: SEARCH_NOSHOW

   do not display the search progress/refresh screen


.. py:data:: SEARCH_IDENT

   search for an identifier (text search). it means that the characters before and after the match cannot be is_visible_char(). 
           


.. py:data:: SEARCH_BRK

   return BADADDR if the search was cancelled.


.. py:data:: SEARCH_USE

   find_reg_access: search for a use (read access)


.. py:data:: SEARCH_DEF

   find_reg_access: search for a definition (write access)


.. py:data:: SEARCH_USESEL

   query the UI for a possible current selection to limit the search to 
           


.. py:function:: search_down(sflag: int) -> bool

   Is the SEARCH_DOWN bit set?
