Pymongo case insensitive regex query over a list

Question

I have a list that I would like to query against using $in in pymongo, but I also need it to be case insensitive for each value in the list. Before I needed the list, my code looked something like this:

query = {'field': {'$regex': 'value', '$options': 'i'}}
for i in col.find(query): print(i)

where col is the pymongo collection.

I tried doing this:

query = {'field': {'$regex': {'$in':['value1', 'value2']}, '$options': 'i'}}
for i in col.find(query): print(i)

but it doesn't seem to work

Answer 1

Just put pipe operator between regex . Try below query. Although I couldn't run this query as there are no sample documents.

query = {'field': {'$regex': 'value1|value2'}, '$options': 'i'}}
