Paul: > It appears Livecode's language has no support for Backwards searching. These days, for a one-off backward sequential find with no hints, I'd be tempted to use a "last item of" calculation; short and simple. > With hints, so it shows you snippets of the matches for you to jump > to one rather then advancing sequentially through them? To compile a complete list of matches, just search from the beginning. You're providing random access to results, along with Next/Previous, but the actual search is done in normal "forward" mode. (And yes, I've done that once or twice.)
