Perhaps I should have used word 'intuitive' though 'confusing' describes my
feelings :p

When I read button labels, I treat them individually. You are saying 'From ...'
button provides context for those two on the left and you are right, but this
is apparently not what I was expecting (as I never 'noticed' that button before
you told me about it, like I didn't immediately notice reverse search
check-box, only once I found it in source code..).
One could argue there's something wrong with either me or search bar usability.

My proposal is stated in the bug - to uncheck reverse search for terminal by
default - at least imho, the most intuitive or at least the most commonly used
(for me) search order for terminal output is top-to-bottom (oldest-to-newest).
