Using Find And Replace to search document for duplicate words

I have a multi-page document I want to search for duplicate words. ChatGPT gave me this regular expression to try (\b\S+\b)\s+\b\1\b but doesn't seem to come up with anything. Is this possible with the Find And Replace feature?

Hi Andy Lotton,

Welcome to the Google Docs Editors help community.

Google Docs doesn't have a feature to "find duplicates".

You can use the Find & Replace tool to find words, and replace or ignore any found words.
