*g*, when searching backwards, I always get confused, whether to use n/N for my desired direction. Is 'n' keeping the direction or searching forward? And if 'N' reverses the direction and ? also reverses the direction this reverses twice? That is too confusing for me...
while it took me a while to figure it out (and remember it), it still doesn't feel totally natural to think that "n" means "keep searching in the same direction as my last search, whatever that was", so unless I've JUST done a backwards "?" search, I find it a bit cumbersome and side with you. Though sometimes setting 'nowrapscan' helps me keep them straight because I can then tell when I hit the top/bottom of the file.
