Node.js + MongoDB request does not work properly with a $ or object

I am trying to create a route for users to be able to check other user profiles. However, I want these profiles to be connected through 2 different URLs /profile/nicknameand /profile/idthat the profile can be retrieved using either the user nickname or user ID. I tried the following code:

app.get("/profile/:id", function(req, res) {

User.findOne( { $or : [{ "nickname": req.params.id },{ "_id": req.params.id }] }, function(err, user) {
    if(user)
    {
        res.render('users/profile.jade', {
        locals: { 
            currentUser: user, 
            title: user.nickname +" Profile",
            jsf:[],
        }
        });
    }
    else
    {
        res.render('404.jade', { 
            status: 404,
            title: 'Page Not Found', 
                jsf: []  
        });
    }
});
});

The problem is that it only works with the identifier and not with the alias, which means that if I use /profile/4f4ae474546708b219000005everything works, but if I get access to /profile/mmelladwhich is the given alias for this user, I get page 404.

There is one more thing that I realized that works great for aliases that change the request from

User.findOne( { $or : [{ "nickname": req.params.id },{ "_id": req.params.id }] }


User.findOne( { "nickname": req.params.id } }
