Because [ and ] are part of the syntax of a regular expression, you need 
to use \u005b and \u005d instead.
If the \ is not available on your keyboard, you can insert it in a text 
document in Writer by using the character map. It is at decimal 92. Then 
bring it to the dialog via copy&paste.

Kind regards
Regina
