Problem with referenced strings in Olly.

noramlly olly would only find string that are referanced if a string is not referanced directly olly will not list them if you are using rightclick ->search for referanced text string

because looking for strings of all types and all lengths including both ascii and unicode can be a very time consuming and slow task

but if you know a string for example "hit" in tha above example you can use the

alt+m ctrl+b type in "hit" on ascii and hit enter olly will find all strings that have hit on them
