Default Replace All -- inserting a space between two non-consistent characters

I have a document of several hundred pages, much of it lists in laid out in paragraphs. Each item is separated by a ";". This was scanned via OCR software and many times there is no space between the ; and the next item.



I want to use the replace all feature to locate all instances where this lack of a space is and then insert a space.

I have figured out what to type in the 'find' field and that is ";[! ]" however, I do not know how to get it to simply put a space after the semicolon but before the next letter. What syntax, if any can I use to do this in the 'replace with' field?
