Text Search Tutorials

Instructions for enabling MongoDB’s text search feature, and for building and configuring text indexes.

Enable Text Search
You must explicitly enable text search in order to search string content in collections.
Create a text Index
A text index allows searches on text strings in the index’s specified fields.
Search String Content for Text
Use queries to find strings of text within collections.
Specify a Language for Text Index
The specified language determines the list of stop words and the rules for Text Search’s stemmer and tokenizer.
Create text Index with Long Name
Override the text index name limit for long index names.
Control Search Results with Weights
Give priority to certain search values by denoting the significance of an indexed field relative to other indexed fields
Limit the Number of Entries Scanned
Search only those documents that match a set of filter conditions.
Create text Index to Satisfy the filter Component of Text Search
Perform text searches that return results without the need to scan documents.
