+The optional second argument BOUND is a buffer position that bounds
+  the search.  The match found must not end after that position.  A
+  value of nil means search to the end of the accessible portion of
+  the buffer.
+The optional third argument NOERROR indicates how errors are handled
+  when the search fails.  If it is nil or omitted, emit an error; if
+  it is t, simply return nil and do nothing; if it is neither nil nor
+  t, move to the limit of search and return nil.
+The optional fourth argument COUNT is a number that indicates the
+  search direction and the number of occurrences to search for.  If it
+  is positive, search forward for COUNT successive occurrences; if it
+  is negative, search backward, instead of forward, for -COUNT
+  occurrences.  A value of nil means the same as 1.
+With COUNT positive/negative, the match found is the COUNTth/-COUNTth
+  one in the buffer located entirely after/before the origin of the
+  search.
