Default What is wrong with this wildcard search?

I've got a doc with several instances like this one:

LECTURE IX
CONVERSION

I'm trying to change that to:

Lecture IX: CONVERSION

This search string, with wildcards enabled,

LECTURE ([A-Z]{1,5})

does select the first line, above. But if I add a captu

LECTURE ([A-Z]{1,5})\1

I get no hits. I can't see what I've done wrong here.

Thanks,
p.
