Node.js Express JS

Question

My search query for mongodb is not working. I don't know what is wrong.

var data = "/"+ req.param('search') +"/";

db.collection("user_info").find({name: { $regex: data }})

Answer 1

According to the official documentation the $regex parameter needs a correct regular expression or a string. If you pass a string you have to omit the slash.

RegEx

{ $regex: /searchString/ }

String

{ $regex: 'searchString' }
