No repro with Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

After checking "Paragraf styles" nothing found. See https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/shared/01/02100000.html?System=UNIX&DbPAR=WRITER&HID=svx/ui/findreplacedialog/parent%20_container_box#bm_@@nowidget@@ - after checking Paragraf styles you should select style in Find field?
Comment 3 ricky.tigg 2023-06-06 15:37:12 UTC 
As per this suggestion, "Paragraph styles" as first step, it wouldn't be possible to insert custom expressions in "Find:" and "Replace:" fields, nor "Format" would be selectable. At least in this version.

For me, the checkbox is "Including styles" and the replacement works fine.
