### Finding documents ### Finding documents
Use `find` to look for multiple documents matching you query, or `findOne` to look for one specific document. You can select documents based on field equality or use comparison operators (`$lt`, `$lte`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$ne`). You can also use logical operators `$or`, `$and` and `$not`. See below for the syntax. Use `find` to look for multiple documents matching you query, or `findOne` to look for one specific document. You can select documents based on field equality, regular expression matching or use comparison operators (`$lt`, `$lte`, `$gt`, `$gte`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$ne`). You can also use logical operators `$or`, `$and` and `$not`. See below for the syntax.
**Note:** when you need a regular expression, use basic querying (see below). MongoDB's `$regex` operator is not supported, but everything that can be done with it can be done more easily with basic querying.
#### Basic querying #### Basic querying
Basic querying means are looking for documents whose fields match the ones you specify. You can use regular expression to match strings.
