Search enhancement request

I often search files to find if a certain character combination is located in particular positions in any record in the file (i.e., "86" in pos 119-120). Currently it must be done manually, a pain with large files. It would be nice to be able to specify at least starting record position for the search. Length could be implied or another specification.

The program is wonderful - I've just about forgotten how to use Notepad!
