English We performed ultracold neutron storage measurements to search for additional losses due to neutron (n) to mirror-neutron (n^') oscillations as a function of an applied magnetic field B. In the presence of a mirror magnetic field B^', ultracold neutron losses would be maximal for B~B^'. We did not observe any indication for nn^' oscillations and placed a lower limit on the oscillation time of tau_{nn^'>12.0 s at 95% C.L. for any B^' between 0 and 12.5 µT.}
