Take a look at this code: (I'm using mongoose)

exports.getSearchPosts = (req, res, next) => {
const keyword = req.body.keyword;
Post.find({ postTitle: new RegExp( ".*" + keyword + ".*" ) }).then(posts => {
    res.render('post/search', {
        pageTitle: 'Search result for: ' + keyword,
        posts: posts,
        category: postCategory,
        posts: catPost,
    });
 }).catch(err => console.log(err));
}
