mongoose-find-as-string

mongoose-find-as-string is a Mongoose plugin that enables you to search on every property as string, that means it searches on non-text field types as Dates, Booleans, etc.

Motivation: let's say a user enters 2017 one option is to start searching the Date field using $gt and $lt for that period. But what happens when a user searches for 20 that can match years, months, days, hours, etc. If text indexes, virtual props and extensive aggreate pipelines are giving you a headhache: this plugin is just for you.
