Can't use $regex with String

[Branko Vukelić]

I have a piece of code that goes something like this:

Place.find(
{'name': {$regex: '^' + query + '.*'}},
['name'],
function(err, places) {
....
}
);

I run this against mongoose 2.1.0 (updated a few seconds ago via npm),
and it fails with the following error message:

Error: Can't use $regex with String.

Does this mean it's not supported or that my code sucks (or both)?
