Service adapter `operators` property marked as deprecated while still needed to use MongoDB specific operators starting with `$`

[Psycholisk]

Steps to reproduce

• Use the @feathersjs/mongodb adapter as a datasesource adapter for your project
• Add the operator to the queryable fields in the TypeBox querySchema as follows

  export const tagQuerySchema = Type.Intersect(
  [
      querySyntax(tagQueryProperties, {
          title: {
              $regex: Type.Any()
          }
      }),
      // Add additional query properties here
      Type.Object({}, { additionalProperties: false })
  ],
  { additionalProperties: false }
  )

• Query the collection with the following query

  app.service('tags').find({
  query: {
  title: {
    $regex: /(?:)/i
  }
  }
  })

Expected behavior

As per the latest docs, specifying the operator in the querySchema is sufficient to allow custom operators call, without the need to add the option operators: ['$regex'] to the service adapter options.

The query should return the documents that have a title that match this regex expression.

Actual behavior

Instead we get this error error: BadRequest: Invalid query parameter $regex.

Only when I add the operators option (which is marked as deprecated) it works fine.

I am running into this same issue, is there a workaround?

Edit: I see, I was able to get it to work adding: operators: ['$regex', '$options'],
