You should be able to achieve the same with:
[A-Z0-9_-]{2,}
or, if your acronyms always start with a letter:
[A-Z][A-Z0-9_-]{1,}
As for the numbers issue, if you mean it doesn't find complete numbers with thousands separators & decimal points, that's because neither of those is provided for in your Find expression. Problem is, though, that if you do so, it'll also pick up commas and periods.
