I was using the SEARCHFOR function for particular logic but constantly getting 0 on all bars. To verify, i have just tried plotting your example itself as follows:

a = (SEARCHFOR rsi(14) > 70 THEN rsi(14) < 30 within 10);
plot(a,"a");

This also results in 0 on all bars though there are bars where this condition is satisfied.

Something not working well with this function or my mistake somewhere?

"SearchFor" function is a bit complicated to use, we are currently working on updating it.

You can get the same logic using QS language:
a = rsi(14) < 30 and barssince(rsi(14) > 70) < 100;

Thanks for clarifying and also for the alternate formula. Actually, it will be great if the SEARCHFOR function is usable properly. With a few simple words, the amount of possibilities which can be accomplished by this function is amazing. Especially for non-programmers like me.

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
