How to query MongoDB with “like”?

621 Asked by AugustinaFuentes in Salesforce , Asked on Jul 15, 2021

I want to query something with SQL's like the query:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE '%m%'

How to do I achieve the same in MongoDB? I can't find an operator for like in the documentation.

You can use something like as follows:

db.users.find({"name": /.*m.*/})

or, similar:

db.users.find({"name": /m/})

Note: You can use a SQL LIKE statement in MongoDB with the find command and search for word similarities using regex on your MongoDB database.
