mongodbHow to do full text search in MongoDB?

MongoDB provides a text search feature that allows users to perform full text search on string content. This feature is available in MongoDB versions 2.4 and higher.

To perform a full text search, the $text operator can be used in a find() query. The $text operator takes a search string as an argument and returns documents that contain the specified string.

Example

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

Output example

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5f3d7f9f8f9f9f9f9f9f9f9f"), "name" : "Coffee Maker", "description" : "This is a coffee maker." }

The $text operator can also be used with other operators such as $and, $or, and $not to create more complex search queries.
