Default Wildcards used for Search and Replace

Hello

I am trying to perform a search for any character immediately followed by a hyphen (ie no space) and replace it with the same character followed by a space and a hyphen:


Search for "?-" and replace with "? -" where the ? is a wildcard. However everytime I perfrom the search the wild card character is replaced with "?". eg search for "2015-" is being replaced with "201? -" It should read "2015 -". Is there a way to do this using the find and replace facility?
