I see these links:

On mongo terminal regex "/giov/i" Found:
On php with
$cursor = $collection->find([
'description' => new MongoDB\BSON\Regex(' /giov/', 'i'),
]);
nothing coming back. Why? I try some solution find on this community but nothing
Remove the regex delimiters since they are not used in MongoDB\BSON\Regex:
$cursor = $collection->find([
'description' => new MongoDB\BSON\Regex('giov', 'i'),
]);
The answer is quite evident if you follow your first reference link:
The following example lists documents in the zips collection where the city name starts with “garden” and the state is Texas:
<?php $collection = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->zips; $cursor = $collection->find([ 'city' => new MongoDB\BSON\Regex('^garden', 'i'), 'state' => 'TX', ]); foreach ($cursor as $document) { printf("%s: %s, %s\n", $document['_id'], $document['city'], $document['state']); }
