MongoDB Search Compatibility & Limitations

To learn about supported clients, see Indexes and Queries.

If you create an MongoDB Search index that has or will soon have more than 2.1 billion index objects, you must use numPartitions or shard your cluster. For this limit, each top-level document or nested embeddedDocument in the indexed collection fields counts as one object

By default, MongoDB Search stops replicating changes for a single index that grows larger than 2.1 billion index objects on any given replica set member or shard. This means your index remains queryable, but you might get stale results.

To learn about field type limitations, see:

If you're using a clustered collection and have the notablescan parameter set to true, your MongoDB Search indexes may not finish building. To resolve this issue, you must set the notablescan parameter to false or check your log for index status transitions.
