Answer 1

I see two problems with your approach.

In following query

db.queries.insert({
   "name" : "query1",
   "query": { the thing printed above starting with "$or"... }
})

a valid JSON expects key, value pair. here in "query" you are storing an object without a key. You have two options. either store query as text or create another key inside curly braces.

Second problem is, you are storing query values without wrapping in quotes. All string values must be wrapped in quotes.

so your final document should appear as

db.queries.insert({
    "name" : "query1",
    "query": 'the thing printed above starting with "$or"... '
})

Now try, it should work.
