Description Tracey 2023-05-31 16:28:37 UTC 
Description:
I tried searching for question marks that were NOT underlined (I underlined questions, but missed some questions).

I also tried searching for a particular font, which did NOT work, so I had to add a font size so it would work.

Please do NOT require paragraph styles to be checked when searching for paragraph styles(it should be understood).

Thanks, Tracey

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter multiple questions.
2.Double underline some of the questions.
3.Search for question marks that are not underlined.

Actual Results:
Finds question marks that are underlined.

Expected Results:
Only stop at question marks that are not underlined.


Reproducible: Always

That it is not implemented, so could be a request for enhancement?

The trick, in cases like this one, is to search for with the double underlining, replace with some character not in the text. To after do the search and replace/modification you need, and search and replace again to recover from the initial replace.

¿enhancement?
A search that fails to find the target formatting?
Minor bug yes, but enhancement?
Thanks, Tracey
BTW Paragraph styles is check/selected.

Makes sense that it should work, so let's accept it as a feature request
Comment 7 Tracey 2023-11-01 15:56:24 UTC 
How about warn the User that the filter criteria from the find/replace function are applicable to the find function.

I now know what the issue is, but when I did NOT know I was puzzled why text that I knew was there did NOT show up in the find function.

Thanks, Tracey
