Sometimes, we want to perform a full text search in Node.js MongoDB and Mongoose.
In this article, we’ll look at how to perform a full text search in Node.js MongoDB and Mongoose.
How to perform a full text search in Node.js MongoDB and Mongoose?
To perform a full text search in Node.js MongoDB and Mongoose, we create an index on the schema.
For instance, we write
const schema = new Schema({
name: String,
email: String,
profile: {
something: String,
somethingElse: String
}
});
schema.index({
name: 'text',
'profile.something': 'text'
});
to call schema.index method to create text indexes on the name and profile.something fields.
As a result, we can do full text search on the name and profile.something fields.
