#14 Hex editor built into Searchmonkey
Lately, I've checking the existing hex editors in Linux. I wonder if you may find interesting adding an hex search (i.e. recursive) feature in your nice tool.
As far as I know, grep doesn't include the hex search option, and even if it did I am sure it would be much easier and intuitive using it through your application.

Hello.
I'm not sure to understand your request, can you explain more, and, if you have some time, propose a draft or a scenario ?
Do you ask for an "hex mode", like this :
1- in the "containing" field we type an Hex value like #FFC0 or 0xBB5A ?
2- we choose, for example, .doc (Word before 2007) files as filter.
3- we launch the search, and we wait until Searchmonket finds the hex string inside the files ?
It's OK ?
As you, I'm not happy with the Hex editors iunder Linux. or example, I must laucnh a separate app a calculator for conversions. So, if we add an Hex search, a moni calculator/converter should be another option to consider ...
