-### GET /db/:dbname/query
-
-Queries the database :dbname.
-
-Returns a list of found items as a JSON array.
-
-```shell
-curl http://localhost:3000/db/docstore/query -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"values":[]}'
-```
-
-```json
-[{"project":"OrbitDB","site":"https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db","likes":200},{"project":"IPFS","site":"https://ipfs.io","likes":400}]
-```
-
-To query a subset of data, a condition can be specified. For example, to
-retrieve only those entries which have a total number of likes above 300:
-
-```shell
-curl http://localhost:3000/db/docstore/query -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"propname":"likes","comp":">","values":[300]}'
-```
-
-```json
-[{"project":"IPFS","site":"https://ipfs.io","likes":400}]
-```
-
-Available operator short-codes are:
-
-```eq```    propname equals value. Equivalent to "=="
-
-```ne```    propname is not equals to value. Equivalent to "!="
-
-```gt```    propname is greater than value. Equivalent to ">"
-
-```lt```    propname is less than value. Equivalent to "<"
-
-```gte```   propname is greater than or equal to value. Equivalent to ">="
-
-```lte```   propname is less than or equal to value. Equivalent to "<="
-
-```mod```   Perform a modulus calculation on propname using value. Equivalent to "%"
-
-```range``` Perform a range query, comparing propname to min and max.
-
-```all```   Fetch all records for field propname. Equivalent to "*"
-
-#### Modulus Query
-
-When using a modulus query, you must supply the divisor and the remainder. For example, to obtain all likes which are multiples of 100, you would specify a divisor 100 and a remainder 0:
-
-```shell
-curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/db/docstore/query -H "Content-Type:application/json" --data '{"propname":"likes", "comp":"mod", "values":[100,0]}'
-```
-
-```json
-[{"site":"https://ipfs.io","likes":400,"project":"IPFS"},{"site":"https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db","likes":200,"project":"OrbitDB"}]
-```
-
-#### Range Query
-
-When specifying a range query, you must supply the min and max
-values. For example, to obtain all likes greater than 250 but less than 1000 the min and max must be supplied:
-
-```shell
-curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/db/docstore/query -H "Content-Type:application/json" --data '{"propname":"likes", "comp":"range", "values":[250,1000]}'
-```
