    The start and endOffset are always dependent on the search direction.
    For example:
    if you search "X" in the text "-X-" the offset are:
        for forward:     start = 1, end = 2
        for backward:   start = 2, end = 1
    Forward, the startOffset is inclusive, the endOffset exclusive.
    Backward, the startOffset is exclusive, the endOffset inclusive.

    For regular expressions it can be greater than 1.
    If the value is 1, startoffset[0] and endoffset[0] points to the matching sub string
    if value is > 1, still startoffset[0] and endoffset[0] points to the matching substring for whole regular expression
    startoffset[i] and endoffset[i] points to the matching substring of i th matching substring.
