+Find Multiple Documents

+
+You can retrieve multiple documents from a collection by calling the ``where()`` method
+on an Eloquent model or a query builder.
+
+Pass a query filter to the ``where()`` method to retrieve documents that meet a
+set of criteria. MongoDB returns the matching documents according to their
+:term:`natural order` in the database or according to the sort order that you can specify
+by using the ``orderBy()`` method.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+This usage example performs the following actions:
+
+- Uses the ``Movie`` Eloquent model to represent the ``movies`` collection in the
+  ``sample_mflix`` database
+- Retrieves and prints documents from the ``movies`` collection that match a query filter
+
+The example calls the following methods on the ``Movie`` model:
+
+- ``where()``: matches documents in which the value of the ``runtime`` field is greater than ``900``
+- ``orderBy()``: sorts matched documents by their ascending ``_id`` values
+- ``cursor()``: retrieves the query results by loading each ``Movie`` model into memory one at a time
