Answer by prayagupd for How to query MongoDB with "like"?

Like Query would be as shown below

db.movies.find({title: /.*Twelve Monkeys.*/}).sort({regularizedCorRelation : 1}).limit(10);

for scala ReactiveMongo api,

val query = BSONDocument("title" -> BSONRegex(".*"+name+".*", "")) //like
val sortQ = BSONDocument("regularizedCorRelation" -> BSONInteger(1))
val cursor = collection.find(query).sort(sortQ).options(QueryOpts().batchSize(10)).cursor[BSONDocument]
