Sorry, keep thinking of better ways to explain this.

If I use a specific value for the regex in a match function, it works fine,
but I'd like to use the key in the URL as the value against which to match.

For example here's the map function:

"map":"function(doc) {
        var lastNameMatch = doc['lastName'].match(/Woodward/);
        if (lastNameMatch) {
            emit([doc.lastName, doc.firstName, doc.middleInitial], null);
    }
}"

So what I'd like to be able to do is include key="Woodward" in the URL and
have the value of the key in the URL be what's used in my match regex, or if
there's a different way to do exact matches (because in this case I will
always be pulling by exact key matches) and still have the rest of this work
as described before, that's fine as well.
