In Find, in the GREP area, you need to enter

Find What: \. \S

backslash-period = find a period
tap the spacebar for a space ...there's a space after the period above
backslash-cap S = not whitespace

If you want to change it to two spaces after a period, group the Find expression so you can replace the Found text in the Change to field.

Find What: (\. )(\S)
Change To: $1 $2

(I added a space after $1 so IC adds a second space after the period)
