            Bug ID: 1694
           Summary: Backward search
           Product: PCRE
           Version: N/A
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: medium
         Component: Code

We use PCRE in the vte library. Vte is the virtual-terminal library used in
gnome-terminal and other terminal emulation applications. We use PCRE to
provide regex search in terminal buffer.

In a terminal application it is desired to find search results backwards, ie,
from last result to first. Moreover, we like that functionality with
partial-matching, as the earlier parts of the buffer need to be loaded on
demand.

So, we like to have a mode to match backwards. Please advise, if this is not
needed and can be accomplished with the library already. Thanks.
