(1) Pass a true or false parameter to the function as the direction of 
search toggle.

(2) replace the relevant assignments with something like:

variable = something if condition else something else

(3) Figuring out the while loop control is a bit trickier, the best I 
came up with was:

while direction and condition_a or (not direction) and condition_b

But I'm sure someone has something better
