You have to list all possible properties and toggle each on/off for every instance.

You can have an array of objects to handle the mapping record.

Example:

var mapper = [
     {
          charStyle: 'bold-italic-underline',
          props: {
               fontStyle: 'Bold Italic',
               underline: true
          }
     }, {
          charStyle: 'bold-italic',
          props: {
               fontStyle: 'Bold Italic',
               underline: false
          }
     }

];

// Then use the above collection to filter the search
for (var i = 0, l = mapper.length; i < l; i += 1) {
     app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null;
     
     for (var prop in mapper.props) {

          if (app.findTextPreferences.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
               app.findTextPreferences[prop] = mapper.props[prop];

          }
     }

     app.changeTextPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle = mapper.charStyle;

     app.documents.item(0).changeText();
}
