Full Text Search in MongoDB not yielding the expected result for “@@@”

Question

So I have a document in a collection with on of the fields having a value \"@@@\" I indexed the collection and tried running the query:

db.getCollection(\'TestColl

Answer 1

Your query has to many curly braces, remove them:

db.getCollection('so2').find({$text:{$search:"\"@@@\""}})

If you run it, Mongo tells you you're missing a text index. Add it like this:

db.so2.createIndex( { field2: "text" } )

The value you're using is pretty small. Try using longer values.
