Hello :wave: @jip31,

Could you please share the screenshot of the MongoDB compass and mongosh?

Also, share the log file snippet from the MongoDB Compass after executing this query to better understand the issue. You can find the log file from Help → Open Log File

Best,

Hi @jip31,

Thanks for sharing the screenshot.

In MongoDB Compass, when you run a query you see the number of results without the need for a count.

For example, input the following query

{"borough":"Bronx"}

and you will see the total count of documents as shown in the screenshot.
