i faced this issue . to solve this , you need to understand one logic . you need to call .find as promise to model which is imported from models file.

example:

const member = require('..// path to model')

//model initiation
const Member = new member();

exports.searchMembers = function (req,res) {


Member.find({},(err,docs)=>{
    res.status(200).json(docs)
})

}

this code dont work because i called find() to initiated schema

code that works :

exports.searchMembers = function (req,res) {


member.find({},(err,docs)=>{
    res.status(200).json(docs)
})

}

here i called .find() directly to imported model
