I am consolidating all the individual issues and discussions here:

This is a proposed special attribute that allows you to fuzzy match a property. Possibly even multiple properties and/or nested documents.

Suggested syntax:

name: {
  $search: ['alice', 'Alice', 'bo', /$bob/i]
}

Following similar syntax to our other special query filters, this would allow you to filter by a singular value, multiple values (treated like an or) and/or regular expressions directly.

Service Adapter Completion

• NeDB
• MongoDB
• Mongoose
• Sequelize
• Knex
• Waterline
• RethinkDB
• Memory
• Localstorage
• LevelUp
• Blob?? (maybe to support fuzzy matching filenames?)
