I opened an issue concerning the broken Cheat Search a while back, but it doesn't seem to have been noticed so far. The recent merge with the wxw3-update branch has made it basically useless. Here it is:

To help illustrate what i'm actually talking about, i made two supplementary videos. (Watch these in 720p so you can actually see stuff.)

Anyways, while that's worked on (or not), is there an alternative to searching the emulated RAM? I'm especially interested in searching the 0x90000000 address range, or the "EXRAM". Even when the Cheat Search worked, it didn't seem to search values in there.
Cheat engine works well enough.
Can you tell whether the merge of the 'wxw3-update' branch is also responsible for the other glitches I've been noticing recently?
(I found the glitches mentioned in the 3rd point while looking over Mario Kart Wii's code with breakpoints, and attempting/making my own codes for it; and no, I'm not a FTW)
- in the Paths tab of the main Dolphin Configuration window, the listbox under "ISO Directories" is drawn abnormally until the mouse moves over it (causing it to redraw correctly)
- similar glitch with the Info tab of the per-game properties window
- in debugger mode, code breakpoint handling tends to lead to unexpected behaviour. For example, clicking the "Clear" button in the breakpoints panel may cause some breakpoints to remain in the list, may trigger an unhandled heap corruption exception (NTSTATUS c0000374), and/or may otherwise crash. Also, code breakpoints sometimes only work once, and may need to be deleted/reinserted once before they can hit/break again...
I did notice your issue report and star it, by the way.

That's the same behaviour the Cheat Search window exhibits in newer versions. You can see it in the second video at around 13 seconds, the outline for the list box is missing until i mouse over it.
I'm not a coder at all, so all i coud do is narrow it down to that merge. I have no clue what actually causes the problems.
And thanks for the link!
