Hi Toni, I just looked into the steps you have drafted in your first email, when looked into online help I found related content in the below link which might answer your query: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/find_attributes.html?&DbPAR=WRITER&System=WIN
The link says "For example, if you search for the Font attribute, all instances of text that do not use the default font are found". So I guess the "Font" function works only to search for the font which doesn't default in the document. Same with the font color option as well when font color is changed in the document and the "Find next" option is clicked with the "Font color" attribute selected, it works. I tried both the options and it worked for me as per whats mentioned in the link. Hope my explanation makes sense.
