Mongoose Find - Exclude One Specific Document

I want to fetch many documents via Schema.find(), but exclude one specific document via its id. Currently, my query looks like:

Schema.find()

Product
.find(
$or: [
'tags': $regex: criteria, $options: 'i' , ,
'name': $regex: criteria, $options: 'i' , ,
],
)
.limit(10)
.exec((err, similar) =>
//...
)


I tried to add $not: _id: someId to the query but that gives me an error, that $not ist not valid.

$not: _id: someId

$not

$not

Product.find( _id: $not: $eq: someId)

Use $ne which stands for not equal

$ne

not equal

Product.find( _id: $ne: someId)


So the whole query would look like

Product
.find(
$and: [
_id: $ne: someId ,
$or: [
'tags': $regex: criteria, $options: 'i' , ,
'name': $regex: criteria, $options: 'i' , ,
],
]
)
.limit(10)
.exec((err, similar) =>
//...
)
