--- Comment #2 from Dominique Boutry <[email protected]> ---
I manage to use the Find/Replace, with the following in head :
- Herebelow is the concordance between the wording in the Format dialog and the
resulting label under the "Search" and the "Replace by" fields in the S&R
dialog :
   Normal           Non italique, normal  
   Italique         Italique, normal
   Gras             gras
   Italique Gras    Italique, gras
   Pas de Gras      normal
   Pas de Italique  Non italique
- for a typographical reason I don't know about, "Normal" is to be understood
as "not Bold"
- The "," is an operator AND ("Italique, normal" means "Italique AND Not Bold"
- on multi-letters words or string, there is an AND operator between the
letters ("abc" non Italique means No italique at all in the texte/string, no
matter the bold attribute),
- A full coverage of the cases could have been to add "Italique" (alone) and
"Non italique, Gras".
I agree that it is rather complex, hard to learn. Classical pitfalls are to
forget erasing the formats, or to give to the "Search" field the format
intended for the "Replace" field (and vice versa)

This said, I have the following failure. In a new text, type x then Edit > S&R,
searching for x without any format nor the "whole word only" set :
- it fails to find it
- select the x, set bold, reset bold, set italics, reset italics, set
underline, reset underline, then reiterate the search : it works
- select the X, Ctrl-m to erase the direct formatting, then reiterate the
search : it fails,
- reiterate the 3 set/reset then the search : it works.
In my analysis, Writer is confused by the remains of former direct formatting
(cf. bug 70608).

So I confirm that there is a bug hereabout. I think that the behavior you
exhibit in your Comment 1 is another bug.
