Docs on query interface

[shaneodonnell]

If you could provide a few examples, it would be helpful. I've done a lot of .find()s via the mongo command line interface, and even with a cut and paste, can't get them to work in the Genghis search box.

I looked around and couldn't find any examples or docs otherwise.

If you can get me unblocked, I'd be happy to write some up myself, but I'm throughly stuck.

Thanks.

It's just the guts of the find(), i.e.

{foo: {$exists: 1}}

It also accepts ObjectIds as strings, to save you from writing

{_id: ObjectId("...")}

I am doing simple queries which do not return any results. For example:

{params:{db_coll:"rss"}}

All documents have a params field which points to a hash with a db_coll key.

Even simple queries return no results:
{params: {db_coll:{$exists:1}}}

@henry74 That's strange. What browser, browser version, genghis version, backend, backend version, mongo version, and mongo driver version are you using? Are you seeing any errors in your browser's JS console?

Those look a lot like the version numbers I have, which are working for me. What Ruby version are you running?

[henry74]

Ruby 1.9.3
