[PATCH] vi: backward search repair for ENABLE_FEATURE_VI_REGEX_SEARCH

[Andrey Dobrovolsky]

In order to perform backward search using re_search(), starting offset
must be set
to the end of the area searched, while "range" parameter is negative.

The returned value of re_search() is an offset of the pattern start
inside the area
searched, so char_search() can return area start adress plus offset,
in case re_search()
returned positive offset, meaning succeful search.
