You might try myCursor.findFirst({title:"b"}); It looks like if the
underlying array isn't simple and you perform a field sort, you must
look for that field with findFirst. If this doesn't work, you can
always abandon the cursor approach and simply use the built in
methods of the ArrayCollection. Although for a search, looping
instead of using findFirst isn't quite as elegant.
