1. You're attacking a straw man. It's string + style; no foo and no bar.
2. This has been a Microsoft Office feature since the 1990s IIRC.
3. It is a common use case "What was that chapter where I'm talking about
European stuff? Let me Search for Heading 1 + 'Europe' "
4. It doesn't seem like such a complex interaction. Instead of searching all
paragraphs for the string, you first filter out those which don't match the
style. A bit more complex if character styles are supported. But the regular
search must involve some kind of concatenation of text runs from within the
document tree, right? Isn't that just as complex, if not more so?
