regex not working for string “ahs():+ahs” let us know how we can search with . dot or other specials char

Special characters in regular expressions have to be escaped if you want to search for them.

That’s not specific to MongoDB regular expressions. Try using \ (backslash) character before characters you want to match literally (like .).
