If what you search for is "italics", OOo should be able to sort out that
"italics" is what should be removed, and not "all direct formatting". Also, it
should be able to remove this formatting command without replacing it with
anything else, other than the value inherited from the higher level, i.e. the
paragraph level. I understand from the issue 31638 (turning on and off italics
leaves behind traces of the formatting), that this may be a problem, but if it
is a problem which sets obstacles to the feature that ftack points out, it is a
problem which should be solved...
The issue is essential if one has to clean up documents that are produced by
writers who don't use styles but only direct formatting. The scenario deescribed
by ftack is precise, as far as I understand: I haven't found a way to remove
only some, selected, formatting. After trying for an hour or two, playing around
with the search&replace, I gave up, opened the document in Word, and had it
cleaned up in two minutes.  

So the Format-Selection has to offer an item "use default for italics" or
something similar.
