Hi all, 


Just a quick amendment to Padraigs answer as it will not work in the new portal due to a more strict parser. 


The quotations around $regex should in fact be double quotes rather than single. Like so : 


{"log": {"$regex": "rebuild"}}


Best Regards, Patrick.

Hi Ufuk,


For a query like this in the NoSQL Explorer, try this:


{"log": {'$regex': "rebuild"}}


Let me know if this works for you.

In my recent testing in the NoSQL explorer, the above answer failed. The solution is to use double quotes instead of single quotes around the word "$regex". So, a working example would be:


{"log": {"$regex": "rebuild"}}
