You can use https://www.npmjs.com/package/regex-escape. It is a good library for escaping special characters to be used in regular expressions

    var RegexEscape = require("regex-escape");

    let keyword = RegexEscape("{#/}");
    // => \{#\/\}


   db.myCollection.find({ myKey : { '$regex' : keyword, '$options' : 'mi' });
