Loopback: How can i make a fulltext search on filter param ?

[bluestaralone]

How can i make a fulltext search on filter param like mongodb said in the ducument:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/query/text/
Please help me....thanks
Example:

Book.search = function(text, callback) {
     var mongodb   = Book.getDataSource().connector.collection(Book.modelName);
      mongodb.find({ $text: { $search: "computer" }}, function(err, books){
            callback(null, books);
      });
});

What, how did you solve this?

[ffflabs]

Something like

http://mysite.com/api/MongoModel?filter={"$text":{"$search":"california"}}

would be perfectly valid.

Is it still working on the latest version? Or am I missing something?

MongoDB text index successfully created and I can run this directly in mongo, which works fine:

db.Job.find({ $text: { $search: "manager" } })

However running this API returning ALL results instead:

http://mysite.com/api/Jobs?filter={"$text":{"$search":"manager"}}

Actually, it doesn't work with loopback just for Collection.find

How did you get this working?

How did you get this working?

[apparentvisuals]

If anyone is still looking to make this work. Was able to get this working on the latest connector code by tweaking the format of the clause.

{ where: { '$text': { search: "search term" } } }

This works because the connector will treat $text as a conditional and auto append $ to the search key.

I don't know how you made that work, but I keep getting.
{ where: { '$text': { search: keyword } } }

---> MongoError: unknown operator: $$text
If I get rid of the $ and just put text then
---> MongoError: unknown operator: $text
And yes I do have indexes on my collection

[ogermani]

This call works for me
http://localhost:3000/api/items?filter={"where":{"$text":{"search":"search term"}}}
I hope this will help

try adding "allowExtendedOperators": true on your datasources.json mongodb connector

Hey guys
I get back empty array on the search result. Do you know what's the problem?
I have collection like this

{
    "description": "xxxx",
    "id": "5c11f7a00d12b470d915e609"
  },

I created a text index on it like this

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

And query it like this

{ "where": { "$text": { "search": "x"} } }

But all I get is an empty array.

@hayk94

      var tempCollection=db.Task
      tempCollection.createIndex({'$**': 'text'});
      var result =  tempCollection.find({$text: {$search: 'ccccc'}});
      result.toArray(function(err, doc) {
        console.log(doc);
      });

=====================

tempCollection save


{
name:"aaaa",
value:"ccccc"
}

===================== test result
search   c  is empty
search ccccc is exist
