You still haven't described exactly what you are searching for. What you
wrote can have different meanings.

If you mean

  <any number of spaces>!h<any number of spaces>

Use this:

  Search for: _*!h_*
  Replace with: <heart>  [*]
  Regular Expressions: ON

Note: The "_" here means a space character.
Note: "Any number of spaces" also means zero, so this will find "!h"
even if it has no spaces around it. Also, if there are spaces around the
"!h", this will replace them as well.

If you don't want to replace the spaces, use this:

  Search for: !h
  Replace with: <heart>  [*]
  Regular Expressions: OFF

If you only want to find "!h" when it stands alone as a word, and you
don't want to replace the spaces, use this:

  Search for: \<!h\>
  Replace with: <heart>  [*]
  Regular Expressions: ON

If you're trying to do something else, please describe what you want as
clearly as you can.

[*]Use Insert > Special Character then copy & paste into the Replace
dialog.
