Ask HN: Are there any search engines that index binary content?

Just to clarify, I'm referring to the ability to search the Internet for byte patterns inside binary files. A long time ago, Google had something like that[1] and it was super useful. Do we have any alternatives today?

How was it super useful? (Not doubting, just curious)


Yes
