mongo query $near always 0 results

Question

My search Position is the same as the position in the database. The result is an empty array. I expected to get the one element from database, because the distance between both locations is 0.

Mongo Doku $near

Query to find all nearest

Request.find({
            address: {
                location: {
                    $near: {
                        $geometry: {
                            type: 'Point' ,
                            coordinates: [8.4821159,49.4705199],
                        },
                        $maxDistance: 10000,
                        $minDistance: 0,
                    },
                },
            },
        })

Mongoose Model

Edit (add): this.request.index({'address.location': '2dsphere'});

  import mongoose from 'mongoose';

const ObjectId = mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId;
import {RequestMiddleware} from './RequestMiddleware';

class Request extends mongoose.Schema {
    public request: mongoose.Schema;

    constructor() {
        const RequestSchema = {

export default mongoose.model('Request', new Request());

Database:

Answer 1

You need two things:

2dspere index (probably you already have it):

db.col.createIndex( { "address.location" : "2dsphere" } )

and to modify your query so that it uses the dot notation instead of nested object:

let result = await Request.find({
        'address.location': {
            $near: {
                $geometry: {
                    type: 'Point',
                    coordinates: [8.4821159, 49.4705199]
                },
                $maxDistance: 10000,
                $minDistance: 0
            }
        }
    });
