RegExp queries not working as documented

[gaarf]

According to comments from @aheckmann around the internets (eg https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mongoose-orm/d9crUPzMEvk/G23HFlyalokJ), the following query with a literal regular expression should work using Mongoose:

Model.find({ foo: /bar/i });

But it does not, ie it returns an empty set. The correct way seems to be:

Model.find({ foo: {$regex:'bar', $options:'i'} })
