Documents

Mingo's documents browser is the most convenient way to browse, view, and work with MongoDB documents.

Querying

Query History

Click the Query label to access your query history. Previous searches are tracked and easily retrievable.

Sort History

Click the Sort label to access sort history with default index-based sorting options.

Auto Suggestions

Mingo analyzes document structure and suggests field names, functions, and values as you type.

Format and Reset

• Format Query — button to format and indent queries for readability
• Reset Query — "X" button restores default settings or your saved default query

Keyboard Shortcuts

• ⌘Enter or Enter — submit query (depending on settings)
• ⌘R — refresh/reload documents

Named Queries

Create named saved queries or set collection-level defaults for frequently used filters.

Date Shorthands

Mingo supports human-readable date shorthands in queries:

• Durations (prefixed with #): #lastWeek, #thisMonth, #last2days, #next3years
• Moments (prefixed with @): @2021-11-22 for exact date matching

Smart Search

Mingo automatically adds missing quotes. For example, {user.lastName: "Pear"} becomes {"user.lastName": "Pear"}.

You can search indexed fields directly: Amsterdam or /amsterdam/i instead of writing structured queries.

Regular Expressions

Query using patterns like {firstName: /david/i} for case-insensitive matching.

Paste and Go

Press ⌘G to paste clipboard content and execute the query instantly.

Browsing Documents

Documents display 50 per page. Click a document to view its content. Click fields to expand subdocuments. ⌘+click expands recursively.
