Find All / Search preview should be able to fetch the nearest instruction
What is the feature you'd like to have? Currently, the search box is optimized for finding rop gadgets. If you search into the middle of an instruction, it will disassemble the bytes it found rather than the nearest instruction in the disassembly. It would be nice if there was a checkbox or option in the right click context menu to "Show nearest instruction". Maybe to be able to go nearest before or after (I would prefer before).
Is your feature request related to a problem? When searching to see what a chunk of bytes is hitting in a binary (e.g. from a malware signature) the disassembly in the preview does not reflect the actual instructions. Instead you must click into each result.
Thank you!
