Escaping open paren in agent ransack does not work

Question

I'm trying to search for the text "names(" (without quotes) in a folder of code. I've tried "names(" but that returns no results where they should be results. Not sure how to deal with this.

Answer 1

Click on options, select Regular Expressions for your search string,

Then use this:

string\(

\( will escape your open paren.
