Search mongodb with parenthesis in the regex search argument

I have searched similar problems but I did not find a solution

const keyword = "test("

db.auto_complete.find({keyword:{$regex: new Reg Exp('^'+keyword) }})

if variable keyword does not container a ( it works But if the variable keyword includes a ( I get the error

Invalid regular expression: /^test(/ : Unterminated group

How to solve it?

You should try to escape the parentheses with a \. Otherwise it Regex will interpret it as an operator used for matching or grouping.

const keyword = "test\("
