Hey Oliver,
This is the scripted find command and has nothing to do with the find dialog.
As far as I can see there is no way to do what you want.
Put some text in the find dialog and run this:
tell application "BBEdit"
properties of find window
end tell
It doesn't give you much.
I suggest you make a feature suggestion to support. If you do you can add me
as a +1 - I think the find window should be more scriptable.

I don't see any way.
You think that Shift-Return/Enter would find backwards though.
