Thank you, that worked.

That would be more clear. Another option is, at least, mentioning it in 
the findFirst documentation.

I think that not knowing how to reset a search is the reason why I'm not 
using findNext in my code (only repetitive calls to findFirst). Without 
a way to reset the search, findNext seems more difficult to use than 
only calls to findFirst skipping the selection if the user searches 
backwards.
