Could I just add that the effect goes one character beyond the end of the
replaced string? I.e. the font attribute of the last character of the match I
think is applied to the character past the replaced string.

And since searching for text attributes (e.g., italic) makes Find & Replace
unreliable (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103400),
there's also no way to find them with a search, you have to scan every
character of your document by eye to find them.
