The search field lets you search and jump to locations in memory. After the current memory region has finished loading, you can click the button to the left of the search field to select one of the following search types:

Search type Description
Search hexadecimal... Search memory by hexadecimal bytes. Do not precede the input with 0x.
Search text... Free text (ASCII) search through memory regions. See How to search in Memory Explorer.
Pick symbol Open the symbol picker to select a symbol and highlight its range.
Search address... Enter an address to jump to and highlight it.

Tip: If you are looking for a hexadecimal address, you do not need to precede the address with 0x. For example, if you want to look for 0x00000075, you can just type 00000075.

When there are matches or a highlight, you can use the controls inside the search area to move between results or clear the search and highlight.
