Find records in MongoDB that does NOT match a condition?

To find records that does not match a condition, use $ne. Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo148.insertOne({"Message":"Hello"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e32fb37fdf09dd6d08539c0")
}
> db.demo148.insertOne({"Message":"Good"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e32fb3efdf09dd6d08539c1")
}
> db.demo148.insertOne({"Message":"Bye"});
{
   "acknowledged" : true,
   "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e32fb42fdf09dd6d08539c2")
}

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo148.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e32fb37fdf09dd6d08539c0"), "Message" : "Hello" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e32fb3efdf09dd6d08539c1"), "Message" : "Good" }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e32fb42fdf09dd6d08539c2"), "Message" : "Bye" }

Following is the query to find records in MongoDB that does not match a condition −

> db.demo148.find({'Message' : {'$ne' : 'Good'}}).toArray(function(err, output)
... {
...    console.log(output);
... });

This will produce the following output −

[
   {
      "_id" : ObjectId("5e32fb37fdf09dd6d08539c0"),
      "Message" : "Hello"
   },
   {
      "_id" : ObjectId("5e32fb42fdf09dd6d08539c2"),
      "Message" : "Bye"
   }
]
