Direct update works if we query by the _id, not otherwise

[gajuro]

//This works
People.direct.update(person._id, {$set: {name: user.profile.name}})

//This doesn't do anything
People.direct.update({email: email}, {$set: {name: user.profile.name}})

Is this on the client or the server? Meteor doesn't let the client (untrusted code) update documents where the selector isn't by ID.

I am not working on that project anymore. I am 99% convinced it was server side.

Thanks for answering me.
