With FEATURE_VI_REGEX_SEARCH enabled backward searches don't work. This is problematic on distros that enable regexes, such as Tiny Core Linux and Fedora. When calling GNU re_search() with a negative range parameter (indicating a backward search) the start offset must be set to the end of the area being searched.
