Mongoose not returning Regex substrings

Question

Reference.find(
            {$and: [
                {'url': url},
                {"text" : {$regex : text, '$options' : 'i'}}
            ]})

Whenever I test out text with 'Hello World', I get back documents that have that text exactly. However, if I were to do 'Hello Worl', I get nothing back, even with the same url. I've tried numerous implementations of ReGex, and so far none have worked. I'm using Mongo 3.2.11 if that matters.

Try with the following string '.*content.*' or regex format /.*content.*/, which are the widely supported regex formats.
