Thanks for confirming.

I hesitated to do that, indeed.

I'd put it on my web server, not linked from any page.

Yeah, it's a misfeature that I'm not sure how to fix:

When you type `C-s f a`, you first search for `f` and this one is not
treated as a hex-search so it jumps to the first `f` char, so when you
get to type `a` Isearch keeps searching from that `f` rather than
restarting from the beginning of the buffer.

I could change the rule so that `C-s f` already treats `f` as
a hex-search, I guess.
