mongodbHow to do "like" text search in MongoDB?

MongoDB provides a powerful text search feature that allows you to perform "like" text searches. To do this, you need to create a text index on the collection that you want to search. This can be done using the createIndex() method.

db.collection.createIndex( { "$**": "text" } )

This will create a text index on all fields in the collection. Once the index is created, you can perform a text search using the $text operator.

db.collection.find( { $text: { $search: "like text" } } )

This will return all documents that contain the phrase "like text".
