need meaning of regex phrase

[muybn]

What does this RegEx phrase do?
^32^t^s

I have it in a wildcard search in a macro and the search "works," but I want
to know why it works and how.

The complete statement, which I use to find a "City, ST Zip" text pattern in
a wildcard search, is:
[A-Z][a-z/A-Z/.\,]{2,}[^32^t^s]{1,}[A-Z]{2}[^32^t^s]{1,}[1-9]{1}[0-9]{4}

^32 - space
^t - tab
^s - non-breaking space

Thanks, Graham. This and your referenced site was very helpful. I see that
there are differences between Word wildcard search items and standard Regular
Expressions.
