However there are only 32 instances of [inaudible 12:34] (with varying time stamps) in the document, and none of them had been highlighted in the chosen colour (yellow).

Once again, that implies the content isn't as you described... For example, perhaps there's a space before 'inaudible'

Without the 'use wildcards' option checked, such a Find could only ever find strings that were literally '\[<*> [0-9]@:[0-9]@\]'! I doubt you have any such strings and that any were found.

Again, that is not what you described in post #1, where your post implied the presence of a single word. I suspect, too, that [wordguess 12:34] is either [ wordguess 12:34] or [word guess 12:34]; otherwise it would have been found.
Unless you describe accurately what you're dealing with, all you're leaving us with is a guessing game no-one here is interested in playing.
