what version of NeDB are you using? Make sure you have the latest by running `npm install nedb` and make sure it is `1.8.0`, if it still doesn't work then add your node and npm version to the question – Tarun Lalwani May 01 '18 at 05:34

I am using the same version 1.8.0 – Rohit May 01 '18 at 06:19

What happens when you do `db.find({}, function (err, docs) { });`. I have tried most combinations and almost in every case it works https://jsfiddle.net/tarunlalwani/7qf1kL00/2/ – Tarun Lalwani May 01 '18 at 06:21

It returns all the docs but I need only docs which contain consignee having sub string "test" – Rohit May 01 '18 at 06:27

Possible to share a minimal reproducible git ? I am not able to reproduce as of now, whatever I do – Tarun Lalwani May 01 '18 at 06:27

@TarunLalwani It's working now. Now I am generating regex on backend using Node.js. It seems to be an issue with Angular. Thanks Tarun for the help! – Rohit May 01 '18 at 09:02

Do you want me to post that as an answer? Also in angular did you try with `new RegExp("/ar/")`? – Tarun Lalwani May 01 '18 at 09:09

It's not working from front end. It's working fine with node.js – Rohit May 01 '18 at 09:35

That's why you need to provide a reproducible git repo – Tarun Lalwani May 01 '18 at 09:37
