Question Can I find all titles with "(" in the title?

Hi all!

I would love to clean up my library as some of the books have extra information in the title. I am trying to find all the books that have parentheses in the title.

Titles in Example Library-
1. Babel : an Arcane History (9780063021440)
2. Fritz Leiber - The Ghost Light (epub)
3. Burning Chrome
4. Huckleberry Finn


I have tried, in the search bar:
( # this returns nothing
title: ( # this returns everything, which seems wrong
title:"(" # everything
title:"\(" # everything
title:"(\(\S)" # everything except Burning Chrome (very odd)
title:"~(\(\S)" # nothing (odd, I thought ~ meant case insensitive)

I have tried the advanced search tab, I've tested my regex elsewhere just to make sure it worked, but so far I am stuck. Using Win 64, Calibre 6.10, I can share screenshots if needed.

Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Respectfully,
el usuario Mas Fina
