Multi Analyzer

Example

The following example index definition specifies an index on the title field in the sample_mflix.movies collection using the standard analyzer. The index definition also specifies keyword analyzer as an alternate analyzer for the title field, with the name keywordAnalyzer. The Keyword Analyzer analyzer indexes the entire field as a single term, so it returns results only if the search term and the specified field match exactly.

If you loaded the collection on your cluster, you can create the example index using the Visual Editor or the JSON Editor in the Atlas UI. After you select your preferred configuration method, select the database and collection.

The following query uses the alternate analyzer, named keywordAnalyzer, to search for exact matches on the string The Count of Monte Cristo.

1
db.movies.aggregate([
2
  {
3
    "$search": {
4
      "text": {
5
        "query": "The Count of Monte Cristo",
6
        "path": { "value": "title", "multi": "keywordAnalyzer" }
7
      }
8
    }
9
  },
10
  {
11
    "$project": {
12
      "title": 1,
13
      "year": 1,
14
      "_id": 0
15
    }
16
  }
17
])

{ "title" : "The Count of Monte Cristo", "year" : 1934 }
{ "title" : "The Count of Monte Cristo", "year" : 1954 }
{ "title" : "The Count of Monte Cristo", "year" : 1998 }

By contrast, the same query using the standard analyzer would find all the movies with the word the or Count or of or Monte or Cristo in the title.

Atlas Search creates the following tokens (searchable terms) for the documents in the results using the analyzers:
