Searching for Attributes
Searching for attributes is available in the Find & Replace dialog for text documents.
You can search for text with attributes that are applied either by direct formatting or by styles. For example, if you search for the \<emph\>Font\</emph\> attribute, all instances of text that do not use the default font are found. All text that has a directly coded font attribute, and all text where a style switches the font attribute, are found.
If you want to find text with any font by name, click the Format button in the Find & Replace dialog of LibreOffice Writer.
After you select the attributes that you want to search for, the Paragraph Styles box in the Other options area of the LibreOffice Writer Find & Replace dialog changes to Including Styles.
If you want to search for text in which attributes were set by using direct formatting and styles, select the \<emph\>Including Styles\</emph\> box.
The search criteria for attributes are listed below the Find box.
