I filled bug 122506 just to discover 90229 later. They seem related, but I do not know enough to say if they share the same origin: one is for searching font attributes and the other for font format using Search&Replace menu.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=90229 https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122506 Basically, the problem on both is that the search function fail on several situations. For example, while it is easy to find italic characters on normal text, if you have a paragraph style formatted on italics and need to find normal text on it you'll fail unless "search styles" is checked, but on that situation all text on other paragraph styles that are configured as non italic will be "find" by the tool, which is not good. There is also a really strange problem: if you apply the same direct formatting twice on a text the search tool can get confused. See attachments on both issues. These problems provides some headaches on several situations. Regards Ricardo
