In such a case the fastest way is to load the module into 
memory, and search that. Of course you also load filler bytes.....

You can use BSAM (or BPAM) to read a module directly (c.f., 
ZZRELINK), but you need to keep track whether you're reading a 
control or a text block, and you run into the possibility that 
your search string is split over blocks (not likely except for 
very large CSECTs).
