I am unable to make the regex insensitive

yash_mondal · 2024-07-02T17:46:01.576Z

let { name } = req.query;

// console.log(name)
// const escapedName = new RegExp.escape(name);
let query = { name: { $regex: name ,$options:‘i’ } };

console.log(name)

let tour = await tourmodel.find({query}).sort({price:1})

res.send(tour)

Hello @yash_mondal,

yash_mondal:

I am using this code but nothing is happening ??

If you are not getting any error then don’t you think you need to debug your code yourself and provide more details?

Please provide the details:

provide the sample document.
what is the value of name?
as per the existing document, input search what is your expected result?

yash_mondal · 2024-07-03T17:04:34.872Z

I debugged it no issues but actually i think some syntax issues or I don’t now because I am passing
the values and in console.log() … I am getting the values but regex is not working like If i pass the value as ABC after regex where i should be getting as abc but i am still getting ABC . So , can you guide sir

Hello @yash_mondal,

You can check the same example of ABC here in the playground, it should work, and I don’t see any issue in your code.

Something is wrong that is not present in your provided details.

sir if I provide you the full code will you be able to verify ?? becoz i need to correct it . I don’t know why it’s not working sir .

In

yash_mondal:

tourmodel.find({query}).sort({price:1})

Try removing the curly braces around {query}.

The way it is written, you probably end up sending

``
query : { name : … }
`

As the query rather than

name : ...

The issue is solved . Thanks steevej , I will also request you why i was not getting my desired result can you say . why it was not showing !!

steevej · 2024-07-04T22:28:23.216Z

Because with the query equals to

steevej:

query : { name : … }

you were query a field named query to have the value name:… rather than a field named name.
