Meteor, MongoDB - db.collection.find() for OR condition - mongodb

Question

In MongoDB, I have the following JSONs in a collection named "Jobs"
{
"userId": "testUser1",
"default": "true",
"someData": "data"
},
{
"userId": "testUser1",
"default": "false",
"someData": "data"
},
{
"userId": "testUser2",
"default": "true",
"someData": "data"
},
{
"userId": "testUser2",
"default": "false",
"someData": "data"
}
In Meteor, I am trying to select based on two condition
- Select documents for the given userId OR default is true
I have the following code in meteor:
Jobs.find({$or:[{userid:"testUser1"}, {default:"true"}]});
But it is selecting only two JSONs:
{
"userId": "testUser1",
"default": "true",
"someData": "data"
},
{
"userId": "testUser1",
"default": "false",
"someData": "data"
}
and its NOT giving the below JSON in response:
{
"userId": "testUser2",
"default": "true",
"someData": "data"
}
I researched with $where but even that is not working.
How to retrieve the right document from the MongoDB?

Answer 1

Try without $or
Jobs.find({userId: "testUser2", "default": "true"});

Answer 2

Just to be clear, you're trying to get all three of the records you mention, right? If so, I think your issue is that the 'true' values are strings, not bools and I'm guessing that you're searching on bool. Try this:
db.Jobs.find()
{"userId" : "testUser1", "default" : "true", "someData" : "data" }
{"userId" : "testUser1", "default" : "false", "someData" : "data" }
{"userId" : "testUser2", "default" : "true", "someData" : "data" }
{"userId" : "testUser2", "default" : "false", "someData" : "data" }
db.Jobs.find({ $or: [{ userId: 'testUser1' }, { default : 'true' } ] })
{"userId" : "testUser1", "default" : "true", "someData" : "data" }
{"userId" : "testUser1", "default" : "false", "someData" : "data" }
{"userId" : "testUser2", "default" : "true", "someData" : "data" }
