+
+You can count the number of documents returned by a query by calling the ``where()`` and
+``count()`` methods on a collection of models or a query builder.
+
+To return the number of documents that match a filter, pass the query filter to the ``where()``
+method and call the ``count()`` method.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+This usage example performs the following actions:
+
+- Uses the ``Movie`` Eloquent model to represent the ``movies`` collection in the
+  ``sample_mflix`` database
+- Counts the documents from the ``movies`` collection that match a query filter
+- Prints the matching document count
+
+The example calls the following methods on the ``Movie`` model:
+
+- ``where()``: Matches documents in which the value of the ``genres`` field includes ``"Biography"``.
+- ``count()``: Counts the number of matching documents. This method returns an integer value.
