Ruby Mongo mapper contains "abc"?

Instead of saying:

@b = coll.find("xpto.it" => @email)

if it's equal to @email, how can I look if it contains the string @email?

EDIT

It doesn't work when there's something like:

"Donald Trump <[email protected]>"

You can also construct a regular expression dynamically. To match a given search string:

search_string = @email

# Constructor syntax
coll.find({"name" => Regexp.new(search_string)})

# Literal syntax
coll.find({"name" => /#{search_string}/})
