Sure. I can think of several justifications for that:
1. Consistency with other editors and terminal emulators.
2. Coming back to a busy console I want to start at the earliest match. What I
did most recently is usually either visible or accesible quickly using the
command again with grep, it's the older matches that I'm interested in.
3. Actual use case: in a console dedicated to a live log output I'll sometimes
clear the scrollback, perform a test, and the analyse the logs. It is confusing
when the default direction of the search is backwards.
4. When looking for something in the context of something else, it is useful to
use the fact that the current search position is maintained when a new search
is performed. However, by default the second search will go backwards direction
is again, surprising, and does not follow my usual "search for context, then
search for something that happened *next*".
