Search menu, Previous Match command

The _pwbpreviousmatch macro searches backward in the file, using the last search pattern and options. The search options are Match Case, Wrap Around, and Regular Expression.

The Previous Match command on the Search menu executes this macro when search logging is turned off. When search logging is turned on, Previous Match executes the _pwbpreviouslogmatch macro.
