Question

contains() is used to find a string / text.

But my text includes ( and ). Like bank of america(west)

And it does not work.

Answer 1

I think you misunderstood meaning of .contains()

jQuery.contains(document.documentElement, document.body); // true
jQuery.contains(document.body, document.documentElement); // false

Description: Check to see if a DOM element is within another DOM element.

You probably mean :contains

<div id="element">bank of america (test) here</div>

<script>
$(function(){
   $("#element:contains('bank of america (test)')").css('background-color', 'yellow');
});
</script>

works
