It was an intentional change in v7.8.7, because find-previous doesn’t work how you think it will with regular expressions enabled. Find previous is still enabled for regular searches.

See the instructions in the official docs for a config file change to make it work with regex, with the caveat that reverse-direction searches with regex sometimes yield unexpected results: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#preferences-for-advanced-users
