And right after I hit "Send" I solved it myself.

I dug around in the registry and found the key 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgAdmin III\FindReplace\Direction, and set it 
to "f" (it was "b") and this fixed the problem.

But I guess the issue remains how it got stuck this way to begin with, 
and why it couldn't remember a change afterwards.
