MongoDB Full Text Search Explained
Tobias Trelle explains the features planned for the full text support coming in MongoDB 2.4: stop words, (basic) stemming, full text indexes, and API:
The upcoming release 2.4 of MongoDB will include a first, experimental support for full text search (FTS). This feature was requested early in the history of MongoDB as you can see from this JIRA ticket: SERVER-380. FTS is first available with the developer release 2.3.2.
Couple of reasons for MongoDB including full text search:
- highly requested feature (239 votes, 193 watchers, 42 participants)
- (high level) feature parity with MySQL
- NIH
The majority of databases support full text indexing, but almost everyone needing good full text search ends up using Lucene or Solr or Elastic Search or Sphinx.
