Question

Given the Set in my Image Example,
Is it possible to retrieve by ID and if ‘element is in the array’?

As you can see I can find all the records with the element in the array, but as I drill down and find the one by ID as well, it throws an Error, I suspect my syntax is wrong

You basically have the $in in the projection field (what you want to return) because you closed out the criteria document (what you want to find) early. Try this:

db.users.find( {'_id':1, 'companies-visited': { $in:["stocktwits"]}})
