Sample document

If you turn on regexp in the F&R panel and use the Attributes... to select
Georgia font and Size 10, the searches mostly fail. This is extremely
counter-intuitive to this user.

See the attached document: the above search fails to find any of the 10pt
Georgia text in the chapter labelled "22".  It does find the 10pt Georgia text
on the Imprint page ("National Library" etc.).

I did manage to get it to find one piece of text on the "22" page, but only the
once, and couldn't get it to find the text again.

The problem appears to be that assigning a character style to text makes it
invisible to the F&R even when the search should find it based on the criteria
provided.

Please see the attached sample document.

It seems paradoxical that the use of styles is encouraged in LibreOffice, but
if you use them to define a character style (in this case, "Whisper"), it makes
text in that font+size unfindable via the tools provided: you can't search for
a character style, and you can't find such text by the font&size features in
the F&R panel.
