mongodb wildcard match all values for specific key [duplicate]
This question already has answers here : Check that Field Exists with MongoDB (4 answers) Closed 8 months ago . I am trying to figure out how to match a key and return all the values for that key. Is it possible to give the value as a wildcard? I want to return everything for that specific key using wildcard on the value. db.collection.find({"key" :"*"}) Also I was hoping this would return the entire collection as well that had the key with the wildcard value match as well. You may be looking for something like this: db.collection.find({"key": {$exists: true}}) This will return all documents
