How do you find a document in the DB?

To find a document in MongoDB, use findOne() and find().

#Finding one document:

Returns the first document found that matches the condition.

#Finding several documents:

Returns a cursor, a set of matching documents (you can iterate over it or print it).

#How this works:

• the parentheses take a filter, search conditions as an object, { field: value }
• findOne(), for a single result
• find(), for multiple results

So: searching in MongoDB is done via findOne() or find() with a filter on the fields you need.
