search through the file in such a way that it will look around the line

the sequence 2800 occurs many times in the data, so its inconvenient to
look for just that.  Can this be done?

Are you using Hexl mode?

In other modes, something like this should work:

M-C-s 2800 SPC 5210

because in incremental regexp search, SPC matches any sequence of
whitespace characters.
