[SOLVED] is it possible to use listDocuments with a wildcard collection ID ?
I have a database with dynamically created collections. Is it possible to search for properties in all collections in this database?
thanks alnes
TL;DR
The user is asking if it is possible to use a wildcard collection ID with the `listDocuments` function. The solution is to put all the data to be searched into one collection with no duplicates in the database. The user implemented a solution using a string array and queried the properties using `Query.search`. It works fine, but the user would have preferred to use `Query.equal` and go straight to the properties. However, searching in multiple collections with a wildcard collection ID is not currently possible. It is only possible to search in one collection. 
No
No, not currently. You can only search in one collection

you can list all collections, then search in all collections and agregate the results
That's what I thought too, it just doesn't seem too performant to me. Luckily, I found a solution to put all the data to be searched into one collection - with no duplicates in the database. But suffer with string array and then IDs there - is searched with Query.search. It works fine, I would have preferred to use Query.equal and go straight to the properties....
