### Simple queries

For example, say you have a collection as follows:
```ts
import { CollectionConfig } from 'payload/types';
import { CollectionConfig } from "payload/types";
export const Post: CollectionConfig = {
slug: 'posts',
slug: "posts",
fields: [
{
name: 'color',
type: 'select',
options: [
'mint',
'dark-gray',
'white',
],
name: "color",
type: "select",
options: ["mint", "dark-gray", "white"],
},
{
name: 'featured',
type: 'checkbox',
}
]
}
name: "featured",
type: "checkbox",
},
],
};
```
You may eventually have a lot of documents within this Collection. If you wanted to find only documents with `color` equal to `mint`, you could write a query as follows:
```js
const query = {
color: { // property name to filter on
equals: 'mint', // operator to use and value to compare against
color: {
// property name to filter on
equals: "mint", // operator to use and value to compare against
},
}
};
```
The above example demonstrates a simple query but you can get much more complex.
### Operators
| Operator | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------ |
| `equals` | The value must be exactly equal. |
| `not_equals` | The query will return all documents where the value is not equal. |
| `greater_than` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
| `greater_than_equal` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
| `less_than` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
| `less_than_equal` | For numeric or date-based fields. |
| `like` | Case-insensitive string must be present. If string of words, all words must be present, in any order. |
| `contains` | Must contain the value entered, case-insensitive. |
| `in` | The value must be found within the provided comma-delimited list of values. |
| `not_in` | The value must NOT be within the provided comma-delimited list of values. |
| `exists` | Only return documents where the value either exists (`true`) or does not exist (`false`). |

<strong>Tip</strong>:<br/>
If you know your users will be querying on certain fields a lot, you can add <strong>index: true</strong> to a field's config which will speed up searches using that field immensely.
