10+ The following example passes a query filter to the ``FindOne()`` method,
11+ which matches documents in the ``movies`` collection where the value
12+ of the ``title`` field is *The Room*, returning the first document found.

13- The ``FindOne()`` method takes a filter document. Calling the ``FindOne()``
14- method retrieves a document from your MongoDB instance that matches your
15- filter document. If you pass the ``FindOne()`` method an empty filter document,
16- MongoDB considers your entire collection when retrieving your document. For more
17- information on documents in the MongoDB Go driver, see our
18- :doc:`guide on data formats </fundamentals/data-formats>`.

20- You must pass the ``FindOne()`` method a ``context.Context`` interface type
21- value. For more information on the ``context.Context`` interface and the

25- options

27- You can specify options that change the behavior of the ``FindOne()`` method.
28- One example of an option is **sort**, which instructs your MongoDB instance to
29- order the matching documents of your collection before it retrieves the
30- first document. Another example of an option is a **projection**, which
31- specifies or restricts the fields in your returned document. You can specify
32- options by passing the ``FindOne()`` method a pointer to a ``FindOneOptions`` struct.
33- You can configure a ``FindOneOptions`` struct by using setter methods such as the
34- ``FindOneOptions.SetProjection()`` method. For more information on the sort option,
35- :doc:`see our guide on sorting </fundamentals/crud/read-operations/sort/>`.

42- If the query filter you specified in your ``FindOne()`` method call matches one
43- or more documents in your collection, it returns the first matched result. The
44- return type ``SingleResult`` represents a single document returned from a query
45- to a MongoDB instance. You can call the ``SingleResult.Decode()`` method
46- to unmarshal a ``SingleResult`` struct type into a variable. Pass the ``Decode()``
47- method a pointer to the variable that you would like to contain your returned
48- document.

53- When you call the ``Decode()`` method to unmarshal your result, the method
54- returns an ``error`` interface type which can contain one of the following

57- - ``nil`` if a document matched your query, and there were no errors retrieving
58- the document.
59- - ``ErrNoDocuments`` if no documents matched your query.
60- - If the driver retrieved your document but could not unmarshal your result, the
61- ``Decode()`` method returns the unmarshaling error.
62- - If there was an error retrieving your document during execution of the
63- ``FindOne()`` method, the error propagates to the ``Decode()`` method and
64- the ``Decode()`` method returns the error.

70- collection. It uses the following arguments for the ``FindOne()`` method:
28+ After you run the code example, you should see output similar to:

72- - An empty **Context** instance returned from the ``context.TODO()`` function.
73- - A **filter document** that only matches movies with the title exactly matching
74- the text ``"The Room"``.
75- - **Options** that specify a **sort** of matched documents in
76- descending order by rating, such that the first document has the highest
77- rating. The options also specify a **projection** for the results so
78- that the MongoDB instance only sends the ``title`` and ``imdb`` fields of
79- the retrieved document.
