Configuring Search Options

The radare2 search engine can be configured through several configuration variables, modifiable with the `e` command.

e cmd.hit = x         ; radare2 command to execute on every search hit
e search.distance = 0 ; search string distance
e search.in = [foo]   ; pecify search boundarie. Supported values are listed under e search.in=??
e search.align = 4    ; only show search results aligned by specified boundary.
e search.from = 0     ; start address
e search.to = 0       ; end address
e search.asmstr = 0   ; search for string instead of assembly
e search.flags = true ; if enabled, create flags on hits

The `search.align` variable is used to limit valid search hits to certain alignment. For example, with `e search.align=4` you will see only hits found at 4-bytes aligned offsets.

The `search.flags` boolean variable instructs the search engine to flag hits so that they can be referenced later. If a currently running search is interrupted with `Ctrl-C` keyboard sequence, current search position is flagged with `search_stop`.
