"Feature not supported: $text" in document db with mongodb 3.6 compatiability

Hi I am using AWS documentDB with mongodb 3.6 compatiability but getting mentioned error in the function below. I am not sure how to get around this.

Index creation

ScenarioSchema.index({
"friendlyId": "text",
"steps.text": "text",
"title": "text"
}, { name: "scenarioTextIndex" });


var createSearchFilter = function (searchOptions)
 {
    var searchTerm = searchOptions.searchText || '';
    if (searchOptions.searchCondition.toUpperCase() === 'AND') {
        searchTerm = searchTerm.split(" ").join('" "');
    }
    if (searchOptions.excludeSearchText) {
        var excludeSearchText = searchOptions.excludeSearchText.split(" ").join(' -');
        searchTerm = searchTerm.concat(" -" + excludeSearchText);
    }
    var allowedPhases = getRoleBasedPhases(searchOptions.userRoles, searchOptions.phases);
    return {$text: {$search: searchTerm}, 'phase.code': {$in: allowedPhases}};
};

I am getting code: 303 errmsg: "Feature not supported: $text" message: "Feature not supported: $text" name: "MongoError"enter code here ok: 0

future Google-searcher! Amazon wrote this piece about running text search on your DocumentDB instance.

Basically, integrate Elastic Search with DocumentDB.

Amazon DocumentDB is compatible with the MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 APIs. Unfortunately, there are some features or operators that have not been adopted by Amazon DocumentDB and $text is actually one of them. You can check the list of supported functionality in the following link.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/mongo-apis.html

I notice from your code that you want do some search queries on your database. If you're planning to stick to Amazon DocumentDB, you might want to check for $regex to do your search query and you can even combine it with $or operator to do multiple condition for your query.

Some code example:

const searchPhrase = ... // Get the phrase from your search text manipulation
const condition = {
  $or: [
    { friendlyId: { $regex: searchPhrase, $options: "i" } },
    { text: { $regex: searchPhrase, $options: "i" } },
    { title: { $regex: searchPhrase, $options: "i" } },
  ]
};
const searchResults = await ScenarioSchema.find(condition);

The "MongoDB 3.6 compatibility" means DocumentDB supports some of MongoDB 3.6 features. There are many MongoDB features that DocumentDB does not implement, $text appears to be one of them.

To get around this, use MongoDB.
