I suppose that in the general case you need a

(save-excursion

from here

 >                        (search-forward f (point-max) t)
 >                        (goto-char (match-beginning 0)))
 >                      (when-let ((r (alist-get 'rear-context-string context)))
 >                        (search-backward r (point-min) t)
 >                        (goto-char (match-end 0)))
 >                      (setq point (point)))

till here

Probably something similar is needed for dired, for example to handle
the case where its buffer is simultaneously shown in two windows with
their points on different lines.
