Question

Example first:

{ "_id" : ObjectId("4f086809bf28fd7bb56e6059"), "admins" : [ "4ef8e785b2694c3649000001" ], "pages" : [
    {
        "pagename" : "home",
        "title" : "homepage",
        "default" : true
    },
    {
        "pagename" : "people",
        "title" : "Staff",
        "default" : false
    }
], "sitename" : "Site", "sitenameLower" : "site" }

So that’s the document I’m querying, now what I want is to return the ‘page’ where pagename = ‘home’.

I’ve tried various queries but it always returns the whole document and not the individual object inside the pages array – which is not much use to me.

Including:

db.sites.find({'pages.pagename' : 'home'});

I can see, why this is wrong, but getting it right, is perplexing me.

See this question. Looks like it’s a planned feature but you can’t do it right now.
