You can use replaceAll method.

var result = "I am a dog";
var searchterm = "a";

const output = result.replaceAll(searchterm, `(${searchterm})`);
console.log(output);

let result = "I am a samovar";

const searchTerms = [" am ", " a "];
const replacements = [" (a)m ", " (a) "];

searchTerms.map((term, i) => { 
    result = result.replaceAll(term, replacements[i]) 
})

console.log(result)
