How to Run Atlas Search Queries Against Objects in Arrays
Overview
This tutorial describes how to index and run Atlas Search queries against
fields in documents, or objects, that are inside an array
(embeddedDocuments
). The page contains instructions for running
sample queries using a
sample index for a
sample collection
that we have set up for you in the Atlas Search Playground or that you can load,
configure, and run on your Atlas cluster.
About the Sample Collection
The sample collection is named schools
and it contains three
documents. Each document in the sample collection contains the name
and mascot
of the school, school teachers' first
and last
names, the classes
that each teacher teaches including the
subject
name and grade
level, and the various clubs
for the
school students.
About the Atlas Search Index
The index definition for the collection shows the following:
Documents in the arrays at the
teachers
andteachers.classes
paths are indexed as embeddedDocuments, and the fields inside the documents are dynamically indexed.Documents in the arrays at the
teachers
path are also indexed as the document type to support highlighting, and the fields inside the documents are dynamically indexed.Document in the
clubs
field is indexed as the document type with dynamic mappings enabled and the arrays of documents in theclubs.sports
field are indexed as theembeddedDocuments
type with dynamic mappings enabled.
About the Queries
The sample queries search the embedded documents in the schools
collection. The queries use the following pipeline stages:
$search
to search the collection.$project
to include and exclude fields from the collection, and add a field namedscore
in the results. For queries that enable highlighting, the$project
stage also adds a new field calledhighlights
, which contains the highlighting information.
The tutorial demonstrates three different queries.
This query demonstrates a search against a field inside a nested array of documents.
It searches at the teachers
path for teachers with the first name
John
and specifies a preference for teachers with the last name
Smith
. It also enables highlighting on the
last
name field.
This query demonstrates a search against a field inside an array of documents that is nested inside a document.
It searches for schools that have sports clubs that offer students an
opportunity to play either dodgeball
or frisbee
at the
clubs.sports
path.
This query demonstrates a search against a field inside an array of documents and a search against a field in an array of documents nested inside an array of documents.
It searches for schools that have a teacher teaching 12th
grade
science
class at the teachers.classes
path, preferring schools
with teachers with last name Smith
who teach that class. It also
enables highlighting on the subject
field
inside the classes
array of the documents nested inside the
teachers
array of documents.
Try it in the Atlas Search Playground
On the Atlas Search Playground, we have set up an embedded documents collection, pre-configured an index for the fields in the collection, and defined a query that you can run against the collection. You can also modify the collection, index, and query in the Atlas Search Playground.
To try this query on the Atlas Search Playground, do the following:
Access the Atlas Search Playground.
Access the nested array query example in the Atlas Search Playground.
Review the Data Source, Index, and Query panes.
The Data Source pane contains the sample collection.
The Index pane contains the index definition for the collection.
The Query pane shows the query.

Try it on Your Atlas Cluster
To demonstrate how to run queries against embedded documents, this section walks you through the following steps:
Create a sample collection named
schools
with embedded documents in your Atlas cluster.Set up an Atlas Search index with embeddedDocuments fields configured at the following paths:
teachers
fieldteachers.classes
fieldclubs.sports
field
Run
$search
queries that search the embedded documents in theschools
collection using the compound operator with the embeddedDocument and text operators.Run a
$searchMeta
query against an embedded document field to get a count.
Before you begin, ensure that your Atlas cluster meets the requirements described in the Prerequisites. For this tutorial, you don't need to upload the sample data because you will create a new collection and load the documents that you need to run the queries in this tutorial.
Create a Sample Collection and Load the Data
You must begin by creating a collection named schools
in an
existing or new database on your Atlas cluster. After creating the
collection, you must upload the sample data into your collection. To
learn more about the documents in the sample collection, see
About the Sample Collection.
The steps in this section walk you through creating a new database and collection, and loading the sample data into your collection.
In Atlas, go to the Clusters page for your project.
If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
If it's not already displayed, select your desired project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.
If it's not already displayed, click Clusters in the sidebar.
The Clusters page displays.
Go to the Collections page.
Click the Browse Collections button for your cluster.
The Data Explorer displays.
Load the following documents into the collection.
Select the
schools
collection if it's not selected.Click Insert Document for each of the sample documents to add to the collection.
Click the JSON view ({}) to replace the default document.
Copy and paste the following sample documents, one at a time, and click Insert to add the documents, one at a time, to the collection.
