Operators
Query Selectors
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Selects geometries that intersect with a GeoJSON geometry.
The 2dsphere index supports
$geoIntersects. | |
Selects geometries within a bounding GeoJSON geometry. The 2dsphere and 2d indexes support
$geoWithin. | |
Returns geospatial objects in proximity to a point.
Requires a geospatial index. The 2dsphere
and 2d indexes support $near. | |
Returns geospatial objects in proximity to a point on a sphere.
Requires a geospatial index. The 2dsphere
and 2d indexes support $nearSphere. |
Geometry Specifiers
Name | Description |
|---|---|
Specifies a rectangular box using legacy coordinate pairs for
$geoWithin queries. The 2d index
supports $box. | |
Specifies a circle using legacy coordinate pairs to
$geoWithin queries when using planar geometry. The
2d index supports $center. | |
Specifies a circle using either legacy coordinate pairs or
GeoJSON format for $geoWithin queries when using
spherical geometry. The 2dsphere and
2d indexes support $centerSphere. | |
Specifies a geometry in GeoJSON format to geospatial query operators. | |
Specifies a maximum distance to limit the results of $near
and $nearSphere queries. The 2dsphere
and 2d indexes support $maxDistance. | |
Specifies a minimum distance to limit the results of $near
and $nearSphere queries. For use with 2dsphere index
only. | |
Specifies a polygon to using legacy coordinate pairs for
$geoWithin queries. The 2d index supports
$center. |
