        I am somewhat of a beginner when it comes to regular expressions, but I think your problem is with the “find what” section that don’t group the dr.
        You could try this:
        Find what: (dr)
        Replace with: [\U\1]

        This is if you want the result to be [DR] if you are expecting the result DR you just replace with \U\1 instead.

            Given the picture I would assume that it’s now [dr. knox]
            If this assumption is right you could try this:
            Find what: (\<dr\>)
            Replace with \u\1

            This will replace the lowercase d with an uppercase d.

            Updated the post just in case you have dr somewhere in the middle of a word, such as android.
            This will make sure that it looks for the word dr and not the letter d directly followed by the letter r.
