Specifies whether MongoDB queries using the method db.collection.find(), allow retrieval of documents from a specific collection based on defined criteria.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

When UseFindAPI is set to true, the server uses the new Find Command API instead of the older OP_QUERY interface. Therefore, this must be set to true in order to query DocumentDB clusters using db.collection.find(). If set to false, the server can revert to the legacy find operation, such as OP_QUERY, particularly when working with older versions of MongoDB servers.

This property is useful for filtering, sorting, and manipulating data in MongoDB's flexible document structure.
