--- Comment #1 from earl_chew@??? ---
I realise my misunderstanding is that I have confused greediness with search
direction, so this is not a bug and I am closing this ticket.

Searching forwards matches "Date=B" first, then the search looks for the
shortest match that finds "Key". This results in

Searching backwards would match "Key", then the search would look for the
shortest match and would find "Date=C".
