 =======================
 
 .. default-domain:: mongodb
+
+You can find multiple documents in a collection by using the ``Find()``
+method.
+
+The following example passes a query filter to the ``Find()`` method,
+which matches documents in the ``zips`` collection where the value of the
+``pop`` field is less than or equal to *500*:

+
+Expected Result
+---------------
+
+This example creates a ``Cursor`` object that returns
+documents similar to these:
+
+.. code-block:: json
+   :copyable: false
+
+   // results truncated
+   ...
+   { ... , "city" : "SHAKTOOLIK", ... , "pop" : 183, "state" : "AK" },
+   { ... , "city" : "DARLINGTON", ... , "pop" : 12, "state" : "ID" },
+   { ... , "city" : "EAST BARRE", ... , "pop" : 381, "state" : "VT" },
+   ...
