I searched for a word in composer in forward direction and after I searched for 
the same word in backward direction using the option "Search Backwards". The 
results were not same.
With my specific case, I found 16 matches in forward direction and only 12 in 
backward search.

It skiped the following cases:
1.The word that appears more than once in a single line.
2.The words in the table.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an existing document (or new) in composer.
2. Select Edit->Find...
3. It opens the "Find in this Page" dialog.
4. Enter word to be searched.
5. Place the cursor at the top of the document and continuously click on the 
Find button till all the occurances are found.
6. Again place the cursor at the end of the document.
7. With the same search word, check the " Search backwards" option.
8. Continuously click on the Find button till all the occurances are found.
9. Compare the results.



Actual Results:  The results are not same.

Expected Results:  The results should be same. It should locate all occurances 
in backward direction also.

also thought i had seen this when "Wrap around" was selected, but i cannot seem
to get a reproducible case... if i do, i'll add it here in case it's related to
this current issue.
