Use $gte and $lte with Date objects: User.find({ createdAt: { $gte: new Date('2025-01-01'), $lt: new Date('2025-02-01') } }). Always use Date objects, not strings.
User.find({ skills: 'node' }). For multiple values, use $all: User.find({ skills: { $all: ['node', 'react'] } }). For at least one of multiple, use $in: User.find({ skills: { $in: ['node', 'react'] } }).
Create a text index: schema.index({ title: 'text', body: 'text' }). Then query: Post.find({ $text: { $search: 'nodejs developer' } }). Add a text index only on fields you search; it is heavy.
