How to automatically escape regex characters for regex search?

[Jean Louis]

Is there any Emacs function to automatically escape regex characters
for regex searches?

For example I wish to search for "- [ ]" but I wish to automatically
escape that, not in hard coded way, but in such way that I can use any
string and that regex character like "[ ]" get escaped.
