Create a text
Index¶
On this page
You can create a text
index on the field or fields whose value is a
string or an array of string elements. When creating a text
index
on multiple fields, you can specify the individual fields or you can use
wildcard specifier ($**
).
Index Specific Fields¶
The following example creates a text
index on the fields
subject
and content
:
This text
index catalogs all string data in the subject
field
and the content
field, where the field value is either a string or
an array of string elements.
Index All Fields¶
To allow for text search on all fields with string content, use the
wildcard specifier ($**
) to index all fields that contain string
content.
The following example indexes any string value in the data of every
field of every document in collection
and names the index
TextIndex
