Why I can't use character “(” or “)” with the search and replace function in Notepad++?
Every time I try to replace something, for example - the first 2 characters for each new line with something similar like INSERT INTO Table VALUES ( and the last ( is always skipped.
Does anyone know why this is?

I suspect you have the Regex Search Mode on.
For whatever reason, the program is using Regex to do the replacement as well. Precede your ( with a to escape it.
