Sebb commented on LANG-899:
---------------------------
Looks to me that this is the intended behaviour.
The startPos is perhaps misnamed; the search works backwards from the index.
So it should not find a match for characters after the startPos.
It will only search the whole string if you provide a startIndex >= to the max
index in the string, i.e. length -1.
The documentation (and examples) could be improved.
