Answer 1

You would use regex for that in mongo.

e.g: db.users.find({"name": /^m/})

Answer 2

In Go and the mgo driver:

Collection.Find(bson.M{"name": bson.RegEx{"m", ""}}).All(&result)

where result is the struct instance of the sought after type

Answer 3

MongoRegex has been deprecated.
Use MongoDB\BSON\Regex

$regex = new MongoDB\BSON\Regex ( '^m');
$cursor = $collection->find(array('users' => $regex));
//iterate through the cursor

Answer 4

In PHP, you could use following code:

$collection->find(array('name'=> array('$regex' => 'm'));

Answer 5

You can use the new feature of 2.6 mongodb:

db.foo.insert({desc: "This is a string with text"});
db.foo.insert({desc:"This is a another string with Text"});
db.foo.ensureIndex({"desc":"text"});
db.foo.find({
    $text:{
        $search:"text"
    }
});

If you are using Spring-Data Mongodb You can do this in this way:

String tagName = "m";
Query query = new Query();
query.limit(10);        
query.addCriteria(Criteria.where("tagName").regex(tagName));
