AWS documentdb documentation change

Service: documentdb · 2026-03-28 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/indexOfArray.md

Summary

Entire documentation page for the $indexOfArray operator was removed, including examples, parameters, and code samples for MongoDB Shell, Node.js, and Python.

Security assessment

This change removes general documentation about the $indexOfArray operator (array search operator) which is a standard MongoDB/Amazon DocumentDB feature. There is no evidence in the diff suggesting this removal addresses a security vulnerability, weakness, or incident. The removed content appears to be routine documentation about database functionality without any security context mentioned.

-# $indexOfArray
-
-The `$indexOfArray` operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to find the index of the first occurrence of a specified element in an array. This operator returns the zero-based index position of the first element in the array that matches the specified value. If the value is not found, it returns -1.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `array`: The array to search.
-
-  * `value`: The value to search for in the array.
-
-  * `start`: (optional) The position in the array to start the search from. The default value is 0.

-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the $indexOfArray operator to find the index of the first occurrence of the element "mango" in the "fruits" array for each document.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.collection.insertMany([
-      { _id: 1, fruits: ["apple", "banana", "cherry", "durian"] },
-      { _id: 2, fruits: ["mango", "orange", "pineapple"] },
-      { _id: 3, fruits: ["kiwi", "lemon", "mango"] }
-    ]);
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.collection.aggregate([
-      {
-        $project: {
-          _id: 1,
-          fruitIndex: { $indexOfArray: ["$fruits", "mango"] }
-        }
-      }
-    ]);
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    { "_id" : 1, "fruitIndex" : 1 }
-    { "_id" : 2, "fruitIndex" : 0 }
-    { "_id" : 3, "fruitIndex" : 2 }
