I have student data in MongoDB and I am using mongoose as orm.



I want to search all the students with the search param matching any of the student fields.



query = {
find: {
$or: [
{ 'first_name': '/' + req.body.search_text + '/' },
{ 'last_name': '/' + req.body.search_text + '/' },
{ 'email': '/' + req.body.search_text + '/' },
{ 'city': '/' + req.body.search_text + '/' },
]
}
}


But it's not working as expected.

          You need to check your regex correctly:



          Below is the query which will find:




          1. Any field contains a value.

          2. Case insensitive


          Simple Query:



          db.getCollection('test').find({
          $or: [
          { email: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} },
          { first_name: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} },
          { last_name: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} },
          { city: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} }
          ]
          })


          Aggregation:



          db.getCollection('test').aggregate([{
          $match:{
          $or: [
          { email: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} },
          { first_name: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} },
          { last_name: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} },
          { city: {'$regex': ".*"+ req.body.search_text +".*", $options:'i'} }
          ]
          }
          }])
