Debugger search functionality?

[Scorpeg]

Not sure for what reason it lacks simple binary search (PPSSPP debugger have it). Also Dump button is never active for me, so almost impossible to find what you need...

@Kingcom maybe a job for you.

I think the reason I didn't implement this was that you (or at least I) could only access memory through readXX functions, instead of getting a pointer and a size of the region it points to to work with. This made the search logic complicated and the search itself very slow.

You could directly read the EE physical memory if you want. It is stored in eeMem->Main

Would like to see this added too because its annoying to have to use an extra tool (Cheat Engine,reverse byte order) for one thing that would be way less of a hassle to use if it was built-in.

(didn't know about "go to" being hidden in a hotkey,to explain my new issue post from moments ago)

I would like to +1 this feature request:

Currently you cannot search for strings or hex values in the debuggers memory view.
It would be useful for people like fan translators to have a simple search function in which you can define a hex or string to search for.
Right now you have to use a 3rd party program (something like cheat engine) in order to search for strings in PCSX2's memory.

Might be this, but i'm not sure: https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/blob/master/Cheat%20Engine/LuaMemscan.pas

also supports a search function: https://i.imgur.com/CHvgjJd.png
But PCSX2dis last working PCSX2 version seems to be 1.2.1.
The source code to PCSX2dis can be found inside PCSX2dis-v11.zip.
