In texts for magazines or books, you will always have some headers for
sections of the text, some bold, some italic. It seems very
inefficient to re-create those in Scribus. A much better way would be
to import the text with those styles, and then search-replace them
with precise paragraph and character styles that you set up in
Scribus.

Exactly. This could be improved dramatically if the character styles
were available in the Search-Replace dialog. See ticket #4538 :
