Assuming that I understood it correctly, this search finds A (the word
"Cottage"), a space, and B (a word with at least two characters, which
can be uppercase or lowercase letters) and replaces it with B, a
space, and A.
I'm not sure what the restriction on B is for?

Replace (wildcards)

with

Note that if your document contains more than a list of names, it
isn't a good idea to use the suggested search. :-(
Hopefully, someone can come up with a better idea.

The following seems to work:
1. Choose Edit | Replace.
2. Click the More button, if necessary.
3. Check the "Use wildcards" option.
4. "Find what": (*)( )(*)
5. "Replace with": \3\2\1
6. Click Replace All.

I have a text with names of cottages in French word order:
Cottage
Mimosa, Cottage Alohi, etc.
How can I use Find/Replace to change them all to Mimosa Cottage,
Alohi Cottage, etc.?
TIA
