I just wanted to drop this here for others to find … and future me.

This is the new `$where` filter option, introduced in [33e7199](https://github.com/agentejo/cockpit/commit/33e7199575631ba1f74cba6b16b10c820bec59af) and that’s the official example on how to use it

```auto
cockpit('collections')->find('posts', [
    'filter' => [
        '$where' => function($doc) {
            return $doc['published'] && $doc['title'] != 'Lorem Ipsum';
        }
    ]
]);

```

There is nothing more for me to add here. Just needed a reply to mark this “solved”.
