Find ‘Book’ font style bug
In InDesign 2021 (the latest version both on Mac and Windows), I add a text frame and fill it with placeholder text which is set, by default, to Minion Pro - Regular.
Then I go to the find-change dialog box and set 'find format > basic character format > font style' to Book.
And guess what happens when I hit the ‘find next’ button? It selects all the ‘regular text. (The document has no text with the 'book' font style applied!)
Selecting another style — e.g. Bold, Italic, etc. — results, as expected, in the 'cannot find match' alert.
Looks like a bug to me!
The same problem occurs with GREP search as well.
Also, other users reported me that it happens in CS6, CC 2017, 2019 and 2020.

I checked it with several fonts, it happens not only with Minion Pro but with all fonts that have no "Book" font style.
And it looks like it's the same with "Roman": if you use a font with font style Roman (yeah, I found one in my font list, dunno why) which has no Book font style the search for Book will mark the Roman styled text.
