Norton Editor (v1.3b, 1986), which I'm still using almost daily, allows reversal of the search direction at will (different "continue search next" and "continue search previous" keystrokes).
For replacements it can do that in either direction, but will than continue in that direction.
Yep, a rather nice flat text-editor - even if its already 40 years old.
Then I have to mention Qedit which uses WordStar 3.3 style hotkeys. I
seldom search backwards, so I am not sure whether they can. And even
older is Borland Sidekick.
