[issue516762] have a way to search backwards for re

[Drekin]

Drekin added the comment:

Hello, I wanted to use this feature and found this issue. It is marked as 
closed, being a duplicate of another closed issue. However the feature is 
actually not present. In 2008 it was planned to be added by Matthew Barnett in 
#3825, but the work of improving re module moved to bigger project under #2636 
which resulted in regex package to be evenually included in stdlib. So unless 
regex is included in stdlib, one should try regex package (e.g. pip install 
regex).

I've put here this summary just in case there is someone like me who looked for 
the feature and found this issue.

Why not? I needed such a feature some time ago.
But if possible, it should be a keyword argument:
re.search(..., backwards=True)
similar to list.sort(reverse=True)

Does this request still stand? I'm working on the re module at the moment.
