This is misconception.

Searching for attributes is not meant to work like you imagined: setting a
checkmark to an attribute, then put the wanted attribute values into
Find/Replace boxes. That would, e.g., be meaningless if you check several
attributes... The feature allows searching for *text* defined in the Find box,
which has the attributes selected that simply differ from default. See help [1]
for details.

A different thing is that actually selecting "Page style" attribute doesn't
seem to work anyway.

Note also that page style is a setting of a paragraph (style), so searching for
"page style" would only make sense when searching for paragraphs ...
