Question about operation of "Find-Replace" with Format.

Using attachment 161331, here results of “Find All” in Find and Replace dialog,
using “Format” with following settings (and always with “including styles”) 

1.  10 pt             Result:  highlights all 10 pt, including on last page.
2.  Georgia           Result:  highlights all Georgia, with a few exceptions.
3.  Georgia, 10 pt    Result:  highlights (almost all) 10 pt Georgia text with
some exceptions
4.  Georgia, 10.5 pt  Result:  highlights all 10.5 Georgia Text Body text,
including some on the last page that has a 10pt applied character style), with
some exceptions.

About exceptions.  All are Text Body PS, but with some kind of direct character
formatting or applied character style. Try especially variation 3 and 4, to see
how these exceptions are selected or not.

E1. "Original release:  Jul 2016."
E2. "Release version: 8.May 2020. (Fixed 3 ‘smartquotes’, left indent 1st
para.s)"
E3. "the Afterword"
E4. The paragraph that starts:   “I am not one to read dark…”
E5. The 10pt text on last page with applied character style.

Roughly – it appears that “Format” search (including Styles) gets disturbed
with some certain kinds of direct character formatting (see difference between
E1 and E2) or applied character styles.  

Tested with:
Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 4041c68ea59181f1c4774c356809066d2051db41
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win

Without intending or expressing any opinions about the enhancement request
here, I would like to know if a separate bug report should be filed about this
behavior (because it is not about the enhancement request) or is this “intended
design”?
