John gave you "True Regular" expression syntax. MSWord has a muddled up version that uses some RegEx and makes up their own. Another problem is that you where advised to use "*" Which means it "may" exist. You should have used "?" of course with MSWord it's "@" if you select the "Wildcards" option

It works fabulously! May I trouble you to explain exactly how the expresion "[0-9]{1,5} John Smith" actually works?
Thank you very much.
