I am trying to search by format (not by style), specifically, find all text that is italic. It always returns <No results found>. I have tried searching by "Italic: On" or even the font family and specific font traits (Ex: Font family: Arial: Font trait: Italic). Nothing.

If someone wants to confirm, here is a simple prepared file where I have just inserted filler text, left every thing default except selecting a few words and changing them to italic (by just clicking the italic button in the context bar). Are you able to get results by searching for italic text?

I am testing on Mac OS 10.13.6, and I tried both AP betas 249 and 257. I have tried searching with and without regex. With empty search string, or with regex .+

I can confirm this behaviour on my machine with the latest Publisher beta .257 and the previous beta 249.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
