1. The backwards regex search still considers characters 
AFTER the position provided by the "find" method.

2. If there is a partial match from the start point forward (see point 1), the 
backwards search does not consider extending the match to account for the text 
before the start position.

For example backwards search of \w+ in "hello wo|rld" starting from the pipe 
position will find "rld" and not "world" or "wo" (as expected by point 1).
