Bug ID: 156493
Summary: Split search for text and for style into two tabs in
Find and Replace dialog
Product: LibreOffice
Version: Inherited From OOo
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: topicUI
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

As suggested in bug 133300 comment 21, the Search and Replace dialog is already
quite busy, and having the completely distinct search for styles functionality
in the same view as the search for text does not help the user experience.
The search for styles should be moved to a separate tab in the dialog. How the
two functions differ is evidenced by the fact that most of the UI is greyed out
when ticking "Paragraph Styles" (by my count, 11 elements become irrelevant),
while the "Find" and "Replace" fields change from text field to fixed-value
dropdowns.
This would allow more space and flexibility for potential enhancements:
- search and replace character styles: bug 78582 (already 4 duplicates)
- search and replace page styles: bug 106884 (somewhat more controversial given
how differently page styles are handled)
Tested in:
Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 24d0a62bd75b9a895c419aa165da648ab18f134d
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
Paragraph Style search was already possible in OOo 3.3, so issue is inherited.
