Default Wildcards

I am getting an error while searching a word

The Find What text contains as Pattern Match expression which is not valid





This is the word <Hw$N\>> with opening and ending word boundry its throwing error for >

Searching without word boundry it works fine.
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue ?

Perhaps you should spend some time studying the wildcard syntax. Since a literal > can only end a 'word', all you need is:
Find = <Hw$N\/>
