Hi all.
«exe normal "?\r\n"» changes the direction of the search to backwards
from the ":" command line, but not from within a function.
For example, with this vimscript file (called test.vim):
[QUOTE]
function! Test_back_search()
exe "normal ?\r\n"
endfunction
[/QUOTE]
Then after I press "*" and do «:exe normal "?\r\n"» (from the ex-
command line) then the direction of the search changes to backwards
but if I do «:call Test_back_search()» then it search backwards once,
but further presses on "n" yield forward searches. I don't understand
why it should not work properly in both cases, and it seems like a
bug.
This interferes with further development on this Vim plugin:

I tried it both with an old gvim 7.3 from Mercurial (

) and with vim-X11-7.3.444-1.mga2 from Mageia Linux 2. It happens with
vim -u NONE -U NONE too.
