Given this setting:
some more text cite:a-key some text cite:a-key
^
When you run (re-search-backward "cite:") at the point above, the result is as follows:
some more text cite:a-key some text cite:a-key
^
This is exactly what I expected it to act. In your example
above, the whole search pattern could not be found in ist entirety from
the indicated point on, so it could not be found at all and point
is not moved.
Maybe it is a good idea to move point forward for at least count
of chars in search pattern before the search executes?
