Definition

MongoDB\Collection::updateSearchIndex()

Update a MongoDB Search index for the collection.

function updateSearchIndex(
    string $name,
    array|object $definition,
    array $options = []
): void

This command can only be run on a deployment hosted on MongoDB Atlas and requires an Atlas cluster tier of at least M10. A Local Atlas Deployment can also be used for development.

Parameters

$name : string

Name of the index to update.

$definition : array|object

Document describing the updated search index definition. The specified definition replaces the prior definition in the search index. For details on definition syntax, see Search Index Definition Syntax.

$options : array

An array specifying the desired options.

Name	Type	Description
comment	mixed	Enables users to specify an arbitrary comment to help trace the operation through the database profiler, currentOp output, and logs.

Errors/Exceptions

MongoDB\Exception\UnsupportedException if options are used and not supported by the selected server (e.g. collation, readConcern, writeConcern).

MongoDB\Exception\InvalidArgumentException for errors related to the parsing of parameters or options.

MongoDB\Driver\Exception\RuntimeException for other errors at the extension level (e.g. connection errors).

Behavior

MongoDB Search and Vector Search indexes are managed asynchronously. After creating or updating an index, you can periodically execute MongoDB\Collection::listSearchIndexes() and check the queryable output field to determine whether it is ready to be used.
