In the shell you'd do it like this: 

> db.people.find({ "friendList.name" : /Joe/})

UPDATE: a proof:

> db.person.insert({name : 'scatman', friendList : [ {name: 'joe'}, {name: 'nick'}  ]});
> db.person.findOne()
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("4f155cafef7b8b0317a8ad17"),
    "name" : "scatman",
    "friendList" : [
        {
            "name" : "joe"
        },
        {
            "name" : "nick"
        }
    ]
}
> db.person.findOne({"friendList.name" : /jo/})
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("4f155cafef7b8b0317a8ad17"),
    "name" : "scatman",
    "friendList" : [
        {
            "name" : "joe"
        },
        {
            "name" : "nick"
        }
    ]
}
