I need to search for birthday ignoring the time in the date.

For example these documents

{
  "birthday" : ISODate("2016-03-02T23:00:00Z")
},
{
  "birthday" : ISODate("2016-03-02T13:00:00Z")
}

should be found for the parameter 2016-03-02.

Right now I'm doing this:

const value = '2016-03-02'
Content.find({ 'birthday': new Date(Date.parse(value)) })

A "day" is the *range of possible milliseconds* from start to end. – Neil Lunn Mar 03 '19 at 08:58
@NeilLunn But how do I get the range element from the input string? – user3142695 Mar 03 '19 at 09:00
`new Date(value)`. Pretty sure that's what the linked duplicate shows you as well. – Neil Lunn Mar 03 '19 at 09:01
@NeilLunn I don't see it in the answer. I'm using `Date.parse` to get the date, but with that I just get the first time of the range, not the second one. – user3142695 Mar 03 '19 at 09:03
You are using "equality" and not a **"range"**. Read the answer(s) ( there's quite a few ) They show you what `$gte` and `$lt` are. – Neil Lunn Mar 03 '19 at 09:04
