The GeanyLua documentation mentions
https://plugins.geany.org/geanylua/geanylua-ref.html

`geany.find ( phrase, start, stop, options )`

Also gives the following example
```
 a,b = geany.find( "foobar", 0, geany.length(), {"wholeword","matchcase"} )
 if (a) then
   geany.select(a,b)
 else
   geany.message("Search phrase not found.")
 end
```
I have played around with this and done a little editing, but this just finds 
the first instance, cannot advance to next / previous more than once.  In order 
to make go to previous keyword, the "start" value has to be greater than the 
"stop" value.


0 = starting line of document
`geany.length ()` = I believe this means the length of the entire document top 
to bottom

Documentation says
`geany.length ()`
"Returns the text length of the current document"
