Research direction

Start by reading issue #1334 and locating the current string search implementation in the Binary Ninja API. Determine how custom string formats should be represented and included in searches; done means the search supports those formats without regressing existing string searches.

Description

Component: Core Effort: Medium Impact: Medium UI: Strings

With the resolution of #1334, we could still benefit from the ability to extend the current string search implementation to also include custom string formats in its search.
