is there a way to do a string search for the name of a function in the search for name in modules. It would be so useful.

just type the function name and ollydbg will autoscroll to matching name
if it exists
example hit g key the module names list will scroll down to first matching
g in the list
hit e it will scroll down to the first matching ge and so on
hope that is what you are loooking for

yes that helps thanks a lot
