When InDesign CC 2014 was released last June one of the cool new features was the ability to reverse the direction of a Find/Change search. All you had to do was select Direction > Backward in the Find/Change dialog box.
But if you’re someone who likes to keep your hands on the keyboard at all times for maximum efficiency, you might want to use a keyboard shortcut to toggle the direction of a search. And sure enough there is one: press Command+Option+Return (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+Enter (Windows) to switch between Forward (Find Next) and Backward (Find Previous) searches.
