For :term:`geospatial` queries, MongoDB may reuturn a single
12+
document more than once for a single query, because geospatial
13+
indexes may include multiple coordinate pairs in a single
14+
document, and therefore return the same document more than once.
15+
16+
The :operator:`$uniqueDocs` operator inverts the default behavior
17+
of these queres. By default, :dbcommand:`geoNear` will always
18+
return multiple instances of the same document, while the
19+
:operator:`$within` operator will *never* return the same document
20+
more than once. Consider the following:
21+
22+
- For :dbcommand:`geoNear` queries, the default
23+
:operator:`$uniqueDocs` setting is ``false``. If you specify a
24+
value of ``true`` for :operator:`uniqueDocs`, MongoDB will
25+
return multiple instances of a single document.
26+
27+
- For :operator:`$within` queries, the default
28+
:operator:`$uniqueDocs` setting is ``true``. If you specify a
29+
value of ``false`` for :operator:`uniqueDocs`, MongoDB will
30+
return multiple instances of a single document.
31+
32+
.. example::
33+
34+
Given a document in the following form:
35+
36+
.. code-block:: javascript
37+
38+
{ addresses: [ { name: "Home", loc:[55.5,42.3]}, {name:"Work",loc:[32.3,44.2]}]}
39+
40+
The following queries would return the same document multiple
41+
times:
42+
43+
.. code-block:: javascript
44+
45+
> db.runCommand( { geoNear: "geo", near: [55,44], uniqueDocs: false })
46+
47+
> db.geoExample.find( {"addresses.loc":{"$within": {"$box": [ [0,0],[100,100] ], $uniqueDocs:false } }}).pretty()
48+
49+
The following queries would return each matching document, only
50+
once:
51+
52+
.. code-block:: javascript
53+
54+
> db.runCommand( { geoNear: "geo", near: [55,44], uniqueDocs: true })
55+
56+
> db.geo.find( {"address.loc":{"$within": {"$box": [ [0,0],[100,100] ], $uniqueDocs:true } }}).pretty()
57+
58+
..
59+
The following example commands in the :program:`mongo` shell
60+
illustrate this feature:
61+
62+
.. code-block:: javascript
63+
64+
> db.geoExample.insert( )
65+
> db.geoExample.ensureIndex({"addresses.loc":"2d"})
66+
67+
/* this will return the entry once - default for $within */
68+
> db.geoExample.find( {"addresses.loc":{"$within": {"$box": [ [0,0],[100,100] ] } }})
69+
/* this will return the entry twice */
70+
> db.geoExample.find( {"addresses.loc":{"$within": {"$box": [ [0,0],[100,100] ], $uniqueDocs:false } }}).pretty()
