      The $regex operator allows to search documents having a field which match a given regular expresion passed in the query. However, it would be interesting to have also the opossite: search documents passing a text in the query which is evaluated for matching to a field in the collection storing a regular expresión.

      I wonder if this feature/improvement is already in MongoDB roadmap as it seems it would be useful for several use cases. See for example:
