Planned support for partial matching - e.g. something like MongoDB Regex?

If, for no other reason, for something as simple as case-insentitive matching in values?

Good idea, I'll do it.

There's qry. A module that matches objects against MongoDB queries. I think this would be a great fit. It has pretty great support already including $regex. Only geospatial operators, $type and the $ (as a placeholder for array indexes) notation are not implemented yet.

We used this to implement a real-time pubsub with queries instead of channel names as subscriptions. And use the same queries to directly query a MongoDB instance to load historic data.

That's interesting! I'll take a serious look at it.

Regex are now supported, as of v0.7.15. You can use them in basic querying o with the $regex operator if you need to use another operator with it. $options is not supported (contrary to mongo) because it doesn't give more power than simple regex flags. You can check the documentation for examples.

I also took a look at qry, and it's pretty neat but nedb already implements most of what qry does so I chose not to use it. I wish I had known about it when I started nedb though!
