How do I make case-insensitive queries on Mongodb?

Question

var thename = \'Andrew\';
db.collection.find({\'name\':thename});

How do I query case insensitive? I want to find result even if \"andrew\";

Answer 1

I have solved it like this.

 var thename = 'Andrew';
 db.collection.find({'name': {'$regex': thename,$options:'i'}});

If you want to query on 'case-insensitive exact matchcing' then you can go like this.

var thename =  '^Andrew$';
db.collection.find({'name': {'$regex': thename,$options:'i'}});
