title: Use model.find() to Search Your Database
challengeType: 2
forumTopicId: 301543

## Description
<section id='description'>
Find all the people having a given name, using <code>Model.find() -> [Person]</code>
In its simplest usage, <code>Model.find()</code> accepts a query document (a JSON object) as the first argument, then a callback. It returns an array of matches. It supports an extremely wide range of search options. Check it in the docs. Use the function argument <code>personName</code> as search key.
