$any

Filter records where a column’s value contains any of the specified elements or matches any condition in a given set. The $any method is used to retrieve entries where the value in the column matches at least one item from a list or array, making it ideal for searching within collections, arrays, or sets.

await Member.$search({
    $where: {
        badges: {
            $any: [['VIP']]
        }
    }
});
