I'm working with a slightly earlier version of BBEdit, but AppleScript
editor's dictionary for BBEdit shows a "current search strings" property,
so try this at the start of the script:
*set* PREV_SEARCH_STRING *to* current search strings
*set* PREV_SEARCH_STRING *to* search string *of* PREV_SEARCH_STRING
I can't seem to directly:
set PREV_SEARCH_STRING to search string of PREV_SEARCH_STRING
