There is an issue on github – https://github.com/mongodb-js/compass/issues/1897 – asking for a data refresh when "Find" is being clicked in the query bar regardless if the query is changed or not. Seems reasonable! Especially if writes, for example, have been performed since the last time you clicked "Find".

From github:

"Currently, if you perform a search on a collection, if you press "Find" again the search won't be performed again unless the query has changed.

This doesn't work well when an external system has changed the data and you want to repeatedly query the collection to check for the changes.

When pressing "Find" regardless of whether the search has changed since the last query, a new search should be performed.

Thanks!!"
