Because you are searching in human readable output, you have to be lucky for your (short enough) search string to happen to be aligned such that it is all contained within one line. I guess you could workaround that limitation by using xxd -p, search in that, note down the offset, and then seek to that offset in the normal xxd output, but... ... in the end I just got a good hex editor. Since I'm primarily on macOS I use Hex Fiend. Has some nice features too like showing you interpretation of numbers (signed/unsigned, hex,dec,oct...) of arbitrarily long numbers (just highlight the bytes), the ability to replace 0x00 values with spaces (makes non-zero data stand out more), and binary templates. But it's macOS only I think. |

The cool kids are using ImHex these days https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex But last time I took a look the .deb installer was broken and the time before that... I forget, but I remember I didn't get far. It actually installed and opened a file this time, so I suppose it's time to give it a spin! EDIT: its best feature is that it makes me feel 10 years younger |

It might be a fine tool for reverse engineering with all the advanced features, but as a simple hex editor it us not good at all. Also I could not figure out how to do any edits in the ASCII side of the hex view. But that may be me not spending enough time with it. |

LOL it has a FPS counter. And it gets 25FPS on my beast PC. Yeah, I think the right move is to set it aside for another year or two. I like the style, but they have work to do. |
