can't query for nested object equality

[woojoo666]

with MongoDB I can create a document like

{ name: { first: 'Bob' } }

and then query it using find({ name: { $eq: { first: 'Bob' } } })

However this doesn't seem to work in LokiJS. I tried this piece of code in the official sandbox:

var db = new loki('sandbox.db');
var items = db.addCollection('items');
items.insert({ name: { first: 'Bob' } });
logObject(items.find({ name: { $eq: { first: 'Bob' } } }));

And the query returned no results. I also tried items.find({ name: { $eq: { first: { $eq: 'Bob' } } } }), but that didn't work either.

You can also see it running live at codesandbox

Does LokiJS support such queries? And if not, what's the alternative?
