IncrementalSearch.SearchBackward Method
Searches for the current pattern from the current position to the beginning of the document.
Namespace: EnvDTE80
Assembly: EnvDTE80 (in EnvDTE80.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Function SearchBackward As vsIncrementalSearchResult
vsIncrementalSearchResult SearchBackward()
vsIncrementalSearchResult SearchBackward()
abstract SearchBackward : unit -> vsIncrementalSearchResult
function SearchBackward() : vsIncrementalSearchResult
Return Value
Type: EnvDTE80.vsIncrementalSearchResult
A vsIncrementalSearchResult enumeration.
Remarks
SearchBackward searches backward regardless of the previous direction of the search. It does not modify the pattern.
If a match is found, the editor selection is moved to the new location. The selection is not moved if the search fails.
If the search pattern is empty, SearchBackward simply sets the direction of the search.

Sub testIS2()
' Before running, open a document in Visual Studio.
' Set variables for text pane.
Dim tp As EnvDTE80.TextPane2
tp = CType(DTE.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.Object.ActivePane, _
TextPane2)
' Start an incremental search backward from
' the current insertion point in the document.
tp.IncrementalSearch.StartBackward()
' Add the character "a" to the search pattern.
tp.IncrementalSearch.AppendCharAndSearch(Asc("a"))
' Display the parent name for IncrementalSearch object.
MsgBox("IncrementalSearch parent: " & _
tp.IncrementalSearch.DTE.FullName)
MsgBox("Search pattern length: " & _
tp.IncrementalSearch.Pattern.Length)
' Perform incremental search using the pattern ("a").
