Maybe you entered, in MC's search dialog, "2f3a" instead of "2f 3a"?
==================
well  no, a small file pasted here [with line overflow]:-
00000000 23 21 2F 62 │ 69 6E 2F 73 │ 68 0A 0A 23 │ 67 67 31 20 │ 77 69

                     xit 0..

----- with:  (*) Hexadecimal  it finds eg.: 64 6F 77 20
but it seems to only be able the find the 1st match in the search-file.
Still that's quite usefull.
