Hello,

Two questions:

1. Is there any way to search for an uknown initial string value? Since you're able to search for "all data types" with an unknown initial value I suppose there is some way to narrow it down to strings?

2. Is there any way to filter out values that are constantly changing? For example: I do a search and get 100000 results -> see lots of values flickering even though I know that the value I'm after only changes once a minute. Is there any way to set some kind of rule?

Thanks

1. No. I don't see why'd you ever want to do that.
2. No. CE does not care how often the values change between two searches.

You need to be smarter than that and find easier ways to find what you're looking for.
For example: if you're sure that a value did not change, do an 'unchanged value' step and keep clicking next for while, until you're no longer sure that there was no change. That will remove all those 'frequently changing' values.
You can find changing strings using integer search as well - everything is just a byte sausage in the memory. Just pick the right length.

I missed the "unchanged value" when I wrote the post. Needless to say it made things easy. Thanks though

No problem, happy to help. More advanced tools are accessible from the memory view window.
