\<pat>\
"backward search"
DESCRIPTION:
To search backward from the cursor position for a specific pattern,
use one of the following forms:
\<pat>\
?<pat>?
The first form of the command shown, "\<pat>\", should be used while
in AEGIS regular expression mode (the default). The second form,
"?pat?", should be used while in Unix regular expression mode, which
can be set via the "-expr unix" command line option or the "Ce.expr:
unix" X resource in your .Xdefaults file.
<pat> is either a regular expression or null. In AEGIS mode, <pat> must
conform to AEGIS regular expression syntax. In Unix mode, <pat> must
conform to Unix regular expression syntax.
If <pat> is null (that is, if the command is either '\\' or '??'), the
pattern used in the most recent forward or backward search is used
again. If no previous search pattern was given, an error message is
displayed.
If <pat> is non-null, the search begins at the cursor position and
proceeds toward the beginning of the file, until either an occurrence
of the pattern is found or beginning of file is reached. If the
pattern is not found, an error message is displayed, and the cursor
remains in its original position. If a match is found, the cursor is
placed at the first character in the occurrence.
If the cursor is already on an occurrence of <pat> when the search
commences, that occurrence will be ignored.
