Maybe you entered, in MC's search dialog, "2f3a" instead of "2f 3a"?

(When ticket #3694 gets in you'll be notified of such "mistakes".)

 Previously I never succeeded.
With those 2 'ticks', it finds the first matching byte on the display only.

Once the endianism is determined you can use:
->  cat Log | hexdump | grep 2f3a ==
130 2f3a 772f  6b2e 6168 616e 6163 6564
230 6f65 2073 2040 3835 202e 6966 656c 2f3a
