Describe the bug
When trying to understand assembly code I often search for known memory addresses to see what gets written or read from them.
Sadly, the search only seems to show entries that I have actually looked at at some point (or added comments to).
I've had the issue multiple times now where I search for an address (lets say 0x80000f), add a comment to all reads from it (because it is a known register that starts a command), read through the code for a bit and stumble upon more reads of that address that were not found in the search, since they don't have the comment. After I've found them in the code they show up in the search as well. It also seems like the search mode "Raw" finds less entries than "All maps", but both don't find all occurrences
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Open up a binary (mine was m68k/68020 assembly, a 256kb file)
Use a memory address to search for that shows up in the code
Click on a line with that address
Search for that address in the "Raw" search mode (it should show up)
Scroll the disassembly window to a different place (address 0x00 worked for me)
Search for the address from before in the "Raw" search mode (it shouldn't show up)
Navigate back to the place the address was used (you might have to click on the actual line)
Search for the address from before in the "Raw" search mode (it shows up again)
I also tried the "All maps" search mode where some entries always showed up but not all
Expected behavior
There should be at least one search mode that
Searches the whole file (I would expect "Raw" to do so but maybe I'm wrong)
Actually shows all occurrences of the search term through the whole file
