MongoDB C# Query for 'Like' on string

Question

i am using official mongodb c# driver. i want to query mongodb simliar to SQL Like something like db.users.find({name:/Joe/} in c# driver

Answer 1

MongoDB C# driver has a BsonRegex type that you can use.

Regex is the closest you will get to the SQL LIKE statement.

Note that prefixed Regexes can use indexes: /^Joe/ will use an index, /Joe/ will not.
