Mongoose - Find(): Object Inside Search Options Is Not Working

I have a mongoose Schema that looks like this: var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({ ... metadata: { isDeleted: { type: Boolean, default: false }, ...

Solution 1:

It seems pretty likely given your use of elipsis in your schema listing that there are more properties than isDeleted under the metadata property. So your object should be:

var searchOptions = { "metadata.isDeleted": false } };

The reason for this is that otherwise the query is looking for a document with "exactly" and "only" the properties named under the metadata key:

varsearchOptions= { metadata: { isDeleted:false } };

And when that is not the case, then of course there is no match.
