Answer 1

Your query is incorrect. You need to change the query

db.words.find({ "$text": { "$search": `"\"${text}\"` } })

to

db.words.find({ "$text": { "$search": `\"${text}\"` } })

Since, there is an extra double quote (") in the beginning after the first backquote. Doing that will fix your query.

Simple illustration:

console.log("\"cake sale\"");

var text = "cake sale";
console.log(`\"${text}\"`);
// both the console.log gives same result
