Documentation
Search backward from point for regular expression REGEXP.
This function is almost identical to re-search-forward, except that
by default it searches backward instead of forward, and the sign of
COUNT also indicates exactly the opposite searching direction.
See re-search-forward for details.
Note that searching backwards may give a shorter match than expected, because REGEXP is still matched in the forward direction. See Info anchor (elisp) re-search-backward for details.
