Find And Replace cannot replace backslashes, nor can it successfully add a single backslash to a parenthesis

I have a text file I'm iterating through that has some items like "Honda (car)". Now, I want it to have a backslash in front of each parenthesis character, so that ComfyUI will read the parenthesis characters instead of increasing the strength of "car". I simply cannot get any result but "\\(car\\)", or an error message if I try to fix that result.

Here are some example results:

Find: ( Replace: \( Result: \\(

Find: \\ Replace: \ Result:

In the end, it's impossible to use search and replace to make words within parentheses read correctly.
