Question

I’m trying to create a query in Mongo that is similar to the following in SQL:

@issues = Issue.where("content like ?", "%#{params[:q]}%") 

But in Mongo when I use “where” I get ALL the results. When I use “find” I get NO results. Here is what I am running, which is not working:

@issues = Issue.where({content: "/^#{params[:q]}/" })

I just want to return items matching the letters entered into my query. I am using MongoDB through Mongoid.

Thanks!

Can you try? It should work if it works for the former case

@issues = Issue.where({content: /^#{params[:q]}/ })
