[Solved] AltSearch search and replace list

I am trying to rewrite bullet and numbering list with AltSearch. Using the pick properties button I am able to identify the NumberingLevel. It is also possible to rewrite a whole list to an specific Numbering level or to apply a default or custom list setting to a given list. However I am not able to search and select a specific NumberingLevel.
My goal for a bullet list would be to rewrite it to an ordinary paragraph whit the following markers in front of it.
NumberingLevel=0 to *
NumberingLevel=1 to **
NumberingLevel=2 to ***
For a numbered list the same whit the right numbers should apply.
Any help or directions would be appreciated.

@ Zizi64 Thank you
The only thing I am able to do with AltSearch is like that.
[Find][:::NumberingStyleName=::]
[Replace]*\0\A{NumberingStyleName=}
Witch marks every list, and adds one * in front of it. The bad thing is that hierarchies are getting lost in translation.

Your sample document contains only one applied paragraph style: the default one. Therefore you can not change a specific paragraph style to an another one by the usage og the F&R function. And you can not modify the applied styles, because all of the applied paragraph styles are same - with some manually adjusted properties.
Use different styles for the different levels.

Ok, that seems to work. Using a different par-style for every level allow me to search and rewrite it as i want.
Still, I probably do not get the whole picture at the moment.
Lets assume that I have created a list style, lets call it Bullet-List that has three levels. Then I created a paragraph styles for each level.
Bullet-List-1
Bullet-List-2
Bullet-List-3
Then in Outline and Numbering link par-style Bullet-List-1 to list-style Bullet-List and assign Outline level 1. For par-style Bullet-List-2 and 3 consecutively Outline level 2 and 3.
If I move an item a from level one to level two the paragraph style is not changing. That brings a lot of work should i once decide to move something around.
I have been trough this tutorial
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ima ... df#page=34 that did not give me the needed insight either.
Some how it does not seem to be supposed to be like that. And a bit overkill if just a view lists are needed.

Found the solution i needed. I had to setup conditional paragraph styles. Now depending on the outline level a different paragraph stile is applied and i am able to mark that style with AltSearch.
