# ida_search
Middle-level search functions.
They all are controlled by Search flags
## Constants
- `SEARCH_UP`: search towards lower addresses
- `SEARCH_DOWN`: search towards higher addresses
- `SEARCH_NEXT`: skip the starting address when searching. this bit is useful only for search(), bin_search(), find_reg_access(). find_.. functions skip the starting address automatically.
- `SEARCH_CASE`: case-sensitive search (case-insensitive otherwise)
- `SEARCH_REGEX`: regular expressions in search string (supported only for the text search)
- `SEARCH_NOBRK`: do not test if the user clicked cancel to interrupt the search
- `SEARCH_NOSHOW`: do not display the search progress/refresh screen
- `SEARCH_IDENT`: search for an identifier (text search). it means that the characters before and after the match cannot be is_visible_char().
- `SEARCH_BRK`: return BADADDR if the search was cancelled.
- `SEARCH_USE`: find_reg_access: search for a use (read access)
- `SEARCH_DEF`: find_reg_access: search for a definition (write access)
- `SEARCH_USESEL`: query the UI for a possible current selection to limit the search to
## Functions Overview
