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

The following query will find the documents with required string insensitively and with global occurrence also

db.collection.find({name:{
                             $regex: new RegExp(thename, "ig")
                         }
                    },function(err, doc) {
                                         //Your code here...
                  });
