Attached is an updated version of the new find capabilities that allow you to find data within any window - summary, decode, or hex. This new update is a complete patch against the current CVS structure. I added some checks to validate the buffer used for the decode search does not get exceeded.

Several of the fields could perhaps at least use a tag to indicate what they do, e.g. to indicate that the radio buttons "Display Filter/Hex/String" let you search using a display filter, a hex string, or a text string, and that the radio buttons "Hex/Decode/Summary" search the hex window (what exactly does that search do?), the text in the decoded packet window, and the text in the summary window.
