Table 1 – students collection

Text Search
1. Find the students who are using Gmail.
Can you find it without knowing the full email address?

2. Type the following code:

db.students.createIndex({emailAddress: "text"})

What does the code above do?

It creates a text index for the emailAddress field.

3. Now type in the following code:

db.students.find({$text: {$search: "gmail"}})

Can you find the students who are using Gmail now?

4. Show students who are off-campus students and using Gmail. Sort the result by the email
address in ascending order.

students collection and observe the documents inside this collection, including their
data type.

7. Go to the Indexes tab. How many indexes are there? Write down your observations.

8. Go to the Explain Plan tab and type in {$text: {$search: "gmail"}} in the
Filter field. Have a look at the Query Performance Summary.

Write down your observations.
