I'm not sure why I added that message in the first place, but I think was was because I was concerned about searching through large files and showing the user what was happening, so the program wouldn't appear to have crashed if it was taking a long time to go back to the last match. The other searching commands do have messages that can be printed while the searching is happening, like "Searching subfile %s...", although they don't print messages like "Going forward to next match...". I don't know whether this message is really necessary, but it seems harmless to include it.
