ida_search

Middle-level search functions.

They all are controlled by Search flags

Attributes

SWIG_PYTHON_LEGACY_BOOL
SEARCH_UP	search towards lower addresses
SEARCH_DOWN	search towards higher addresses
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.
SEARCH_CASE	case-sensitive search (case-insensitive otherwise)
SEARCH_REGEX	regular expressions in search string (supported only for the text search)
SEARCH_NOBRK	do not test if the user clicked cancel to interrupt the search
SEARCH_NOSHOW	do not display the search progress/refresh screen
SEARCH_IDENT	search for an identifier (text search). it means that the characters before and after the match cannot be is_visible_char().
SEARCH_BRK	return BADADDR if the search was cancelled.
SEARCH_USE	find_reg_access: search for a use (read access)
SEARCH_DEF	find_reg_access: search for a definition (write access)
SEARCH_USESEL	query the UI for a possible current selection to limit the search to
