Hence it often fails to find a match. Steps to reproduce: 1. Find a big enough file whose contents are ""parsed"" on F3. Maybe a library, or a compressed achive. For example, libboost_thread.so.1.62.0. 2. Open it for viewing by pressing F3. 3. Scroll to the end of the file, and copy a string that appears there, but not earlier in the file. E.g. a pointer value in the aforementioned library. 4. Close the file and open again. 5. Search for this string. Notice that ""Search string not found"" is reported, and the offset ""8192+"" grows to ""16384+"" in the top bar. Press 'n' or F7 Enter over and over again, each time the offset grows by another 8192 until eventually the match is located.
