What does this button do?

[EnYi]

Hello, when I use group search, I always see people using this button, but what does it do?

 

 

[maars]

It automatically propose a group size if your using a group search

[EnYi]

sorry I still dont really understand. So does that mean that it will search the values if the distance between them is 5? TYVM!

[maars]

It mean that he will not consider value that distance between them is out of the group size.

eg: 200;300::9

the group size if 9, if he found results that distance is out of this max size he will ignore them

OK thank you very much but I still dont understand why I cannot find this value when I search this :

 

-1,974,075,405;-290,152,879::2

 

 

the distance between them is 2 right? why I found  0 value when I search?

try different filter try ::5/::10/::15/::20/::25 etc

size can not be under 5, the min size is 5, and you should not define the group size by yourself unless you know what you are doing, the group size are defined automatically when you create your group search by selecting multiple value in the memory editor

[MonkeySAN]

= 1,974,075,405;-290,152,879

this values are Dword and their distance from each other are in bytes which is 4.

by default in GG will add 1 to it so

= 1,974,075,405;-290,152,879::5

type those 2 values for search and you will see the 5 will shown on that button you circled in your first pic above.

It's important to understand what your doing, if we want to obtain knowledge i mean.

Short answer: The button auto generate the minimum possible group size.

Long answer:

Looks at the right-most two digits, 00, 04, 08, 0C, 10.  For example, you searching XX;YY, which are two adjacent DWORD, the group size will be 5, which is counted by 00, 01, 02, 03, 04 (5 addresses apart). This is because one DWORD hold up space of 4. Meaning 0D eating up address 00, 01, 02, 03. By toggling the byte, you can see more addresses hiding between 00 and 04.

So for example you are searching XX;YY;ZZ, the group size will be 9, which follow the formula 4n - 3, where n means how many values are there.

XX;YY n =2
XX;YY;ZZ n=3
XX;YY;ZZ;aa n =4 and so on...

Then the button generate the smallest possible group size depends on how many values you are trying to find.
