Binary format searches should be supported once issue 1282 is implemented,
likely as part of issue 2636 Item 32. That said, I'm not clear what you
mean by exact search; wouldn't you want match instead? If your main issue
is you want something that automatically binds to the beginning and ending
of input, then I suppose we could add an 'exact' method where 'search'
searches anywhere, 'match' matches from the start of input and 'exact'
matches from beginning to ending. I'd call that a separate issue, though.
In other words: byte-oriented matches is covered by 1282 and adding an
'exact' method is the only new issue here. Does that sound right?
