mongoose and express - how to combine two functions into one output

i'm trying to make search form for my site, with two separate inputs, one for title keywords and the other one for body of the post. I don't know how to pass these 2 variables (asd for title and asdd for body) to function, thats my app.js file :

app.get('/search', function(req, res) {
    postdb.findByTitle(asd, function(error, article) {
        res.render('search.jade',
        { locals: {
            title: article.title,
            articles:article
        }
        });
    });
});

and here is function for finding (check the bold parts):

PostDB.prototype.findByTitle = function(**asd asdd**, callback) {
    this.getCollection(function(error, article_collection) {
      if( error ) callback(error)
      else {
        article_collection.find({**title: asd, body:asdd**}).toArray(function(error, results) {
          if( error ) callback(error)
          else callback(null, results)
        });
      }
    });
};

Pass a couple of query string params with the url to /search.

For example:

 /search?title=asd&body=asdd;

And then use the req object to grab them and pass to your function:

app.get('/search', function(req, res) {
    var title = req.query.title
       ,body = req.query.body;

    postdb.findByTitle(title, body, function(error, article) {
        res.render('search.jade',
        { locals: {
            title: article.title,
            articles:article
        }
        });
    });
});
