Okay, lots of coffee and frustration have spurred me to discover a pattern. It will search "down" (next) for a one character search, such as "e" or "*" or a digit, but it WILL NOT search "up" (previous) for one character. IF I put in a word, or two characters, it WILL search backward, finding all instances. So I can search for "e" down through all the files, but if I try and go back because I've missed an instance, it won't go back. But if I type "the", I can go back and find any I missed using "next".
