Default Help with wildcard Replace syntax, please?

I tried a wildcard Find/Replace:
-- Find: 5 spaces, any combination of 2 numbers, a period
( {5,})[0-9]{2,}.
-- Replace: 9 spaces, then "a."
( {9})a.

Find worked. Replace gave me: " {9}a."

I gave up trying to code it and just typed 9 spaces! 8/
Is there something special I needed to do in the Replace box?
