summary: using "ida_bytes.find_string"

description:
  IDAPython's ida_bytes.find_string can be used to implement
  a simple replacement for the 'Search > Sequence of bytes...'
  dialog, that lets users search for sequences of bytes that
  compose string literals in the binary file (either in the
  default 1-byte-per-char encoding, or as UTF-16.)
