Here is my code

Qt Code: 
  1. void MyPage::find(const QString &text, QTextDocument::FindFlags flags)
  2. {
  3.     if ( !uiL->textEdit->find(text, flags) ) {
  4.  
  5.         // if searching backward move cursor at the end
  6.         if ( flags == QTextDocument::FindBackward ) {
  7.  
  8.             QTextCursor mycursor;
  9.             mycursor.movePosition(QTextCursor::End); // try here instead
  10.             uiL->textEdit->setTextCursor(mycursor);
  11.         }
  12.  
  13.         // if searching foreward move cursor at the start
  14.         if ( flags != QTextDocument::FindBackward ) {
  15.             QTextCursor mycursor;
  16.             uiL->textEdit->setTextCursor(mycursor);
  17.             mycursor.movePosition(QTextCursor::Start); // THIS WORKS - actually, this doesnt do anything...
  18.         }
  19.  
  20.         // once cursor is moved search again. If return false than the word does not exist in the doc
  21.         if ( !uiL->textEdit->find(text, flags) ) {
  22.             qDebug()<<"Not found";
  23.         }
  24.     }
  25. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

So basically when I am searching backward I always get "Not Found" when reached the top, I would expect to find the first occurrence from the bottom instead. DOes it make sense?

Thanks,
Jan
see code changes

do you know the reason why your way cannot work?
