I see that I also need other searches to escape tabs and returns:
FIND:
\t
CHANGE TO:
\\t
and
FIND:
\r
CHANGE TO:
\\r

"Regex to Escape Regex Characters in Any String":
I'm trying to formulate a grep string that will cause any potential
regex metacharacters in the target to be escaped with a backslash.
Does this look as though it covers it, or do you see omissions or
unnecessary entries?
FIND:
([\\^$()\[\]{}*?+.])
CHANGE TO:
\\\1
