Hi wonder what filters should i use to identify/find tracks with unclosed parenthesis ex. "(Text (Text)"

I think this would work  title MATCHES "\(.*\(" AND NOT title MATCHES "\).*\)" but i don't know how to apply this filter in the custom search (I think there isn't a filter for NOT MATCHES).

What filters should i apply to the custom search? :-[

Ok so what @hiccup suggested works for tracks with open bracket followed by closed bracksts ex."(Text (Text)"

But it doesn't work if there are more brackets following ex. "(Text (Text) (Text)" or  "(Text (Text) (Text) (Text)"

How could i filter these tracks?

Would this work for those?:

.*?\(\w*?[^\)]*?\(
