What about the other possible base64 coded versions, depending on how the
characters align with the encoding blocks?

oh?? is there an other Base64 coded versions??
I think, to search in three formats is just to avoid losing some format.

No.


But this "SEk9QjE9RTA9" is also a valid encoding of that string. It just happens to have had the string "HI" put in front of it before being encoded.

That is to say, "HI=B1=E0=" encoded into base64 is "SEk9QjE9RTA9" -- and that quite obviously doesn't include the string "PUIxPUUwPQ==" anywhere inside of it. Demonstrating that base64 data can't simply be searched as a string.

That's all that was being said, I believe.
