Currently there is no good way to do it. You can however do a regexp  
search for: ‘(?m:.*?)«search string»’. The ‘(?m:.*?)’ part will  
ensure that everything before ‘«search string»’ ends up as selected.

Eventually I will add support for Emacs style marks, and that will be  
the nice solution for this. But for now, the regexp searching is the  
only option.
