Sorry, as I'm working with text mostly, I've overseen that \d is not the 
correct syntax for digits. Pressing Help (or F1) in the search dialog, you'll 
find a link to the List of Regular Expressions. There you can see, that a 
digit is represented by [:digit:], not by \d. So you might have to search for 
" ([:digit:]{2}.){2}[:digit:]{2}" or similar (without the double quotes).
