I have a query that looks similar to:
db.mycollection.find({
$text: {
$search: "my -city"
}
})
If I run this query, it will negate city. But I want to search for the exact phrase my -city. How can I do this?
The text to search could be my-city or my - city or my -city. Is there a way I can instruct mongodb to not use negation as the default behavior and just use the exact string matching?
Try wrapping it in \" ... \" like this
db.mycollection.find({
$text: {
$search: "\"my -city\""
}
})
