You just need to change or add the <searchposition> element of the 
buttonlist you are trying to change the position of the search popup for.

So for the 'Previous Recorded' I think it uses the 'programlist' window 
definition so change the <searchposition> here :-
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/themes/MythCenter-wide/schedule-ui.xml#L1025

The first value is the horizontal position and the second is the 
vertical position with 0 being at the top. -1 means centre the position.
