Mongoose full test search does not work

I'm trying to do a full-text search in MongoDB in two fields (body and title).

Model:

var newsSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    title: String,
    body: String,
    tags: Array,
    date: Date
});
newsSchema.index({body: 1, title: -1});
var newsModel = mongoose.model('News', newsSchema);

Request:

var search_text = 'test'; 
newsModel.find({
    $text: {
        $search: search_text
    }
}).then((news) => {
    res.send(JSON.stringify(news));
}).catch((err) => {
    res.send(JSON.stringify(err));
});

But I get an error text index required for $text query. What is the problem?

MongoDB version 3.2.8.

You need to create a text index for the field that you're trying to query. See this https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.2/core/index-text/#create-text-index for more info. Also see this file https://github.com/gabesoft/dask/blob/master/components/rss/post-model.js from one of my projects on how to create a text index in mongoose
