Put the following text in a buffer: **** **** **** **** Now, move to the end of the buffer, and type M-x isearch-backward-regexp, and when it prompts, type ^\*\*\*\*. Notice how it matches against the first **** in the buffer, rather than against the last. Using ^[*][*][*][*] instead does the right thing.
