How to perform text search in mongoose without additional plugins

[Heisenberg]

Hello!

I enabled textSearch in Mongodb and now want to use it via mongoose in my node js application.
My Schema looks like this:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/products');

var productDB = mongoose.connection.db;

var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var ProductSchema = new Schema({
        name : {
            type : String,
            required : true,
            unique : true,
        },
        unitprice : {
            type : Number,
            required : true
        },
        description : {
            type : String,
            trim : true,
        },
        discontinued : {
            type : Boolean
        },
        tags : {
            type : [String],
            index : "text"
        }
    });

var Product = mongoose.model('Product', ProductSchema);

On the command line, I can use the text search like this:

db.products.runCommand("text", {search: "someSearchString"})

and it works fine.

Now I tried it in my app like described here, assuming that text defines the collection name, what seems quite strange to me...

productDB.command({
        text: "products",
        search : req.body.searchstring,
        limit : 50
    },...

but I don't get any results :(

Any suggestions?

Kind regards!

Ok, this works for me, thanks...
Is it possible to work with wildcards so if I type "foo", "foobar" will match the query?

As far as I know, mongodb text search doesn't support wildcards. You may want to read more about what is supported here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/text-search/

Regular indexes support wildcards through regexp queries. I've never tested using a text index.
