Is it possible to search for something with Grep and for only one of the characters to have a specific format?

Yes, search for the character you want to format along with Positive Lookbehinds and/or Positive Lookaheads to see other characters, but not format them. These are found under the Match section of GREP commands.

Hi Yeshaya,

Yes, you can do that (as suggested above). Here's a help article you want to check: Find/Change text in InDesign

You can set it up without search, only with a GREP style inside the paragraph style.
