Condition 2, text to which only one of the conditions are applied isn’t found, nor is text found to which these two
conditions and another is applied.

option, such as a condition or a character style, and then click OK.

to the found conditional text. This option is useful if you want to apply different formatting, such as a character style.
Select [Unconditional] to remove all conditions from the found text. If you select a specific condition, specify whether
you want it to replace any condition applied to the found text or be added to it.
