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 add-in 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 add-in 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.
