I know how to search for paragraph styles, but how can I search for character styles? For example, I have a character style called "Publication Title," and I want to find all text in my document where that style is applied. How can I do that?

From Googling around, I get the impression that I can achieve this effect by searching for formats or attributes, but that's a really roundabout way to achieve what I want. If my character style sets color, size, background, font, etc., I don't want to have to specify all those things individually to search for. I just want to search for the style. Doable?

It’s a little messy, but quite easy to do. Change the color in your “Publication Title” to some color not used elsewhere in your text or apply some effect like shadowing which is not used elsewhere in your text. Then search for all text with that attribute.

This method has the advantage of making your style stand out when you are searching for it.

Once you’ve found whatever you were searching for, or fixed whatever you wanted to fix, then change the style back again.
