Select MongoDB documents where a field either does not exist, is null, or is false?

You can do this with $in:

db.fruits.find({is_reported: {$in: [null, false]}})

returns:

{
  "_id": 1,
  "name": "Apple"
}
{
  "_id": 2,
  "name": "Banana",
  "is_reported": null
}
{
  "_id": 3,
  "name": "Cherry",
  "is_reported": false
}

You could also flip things around logically and use $ne if you don’t have any values besides true to exclude:

db.fruits.find({is_reported: {$ne: true}})
