I have a doc with field html. The html field stores real html.

schema: {
  html: String
}

doc: {
  "html" : "<p>I am html<p>"
}

And I want to index the html field that when I search "I am html" it should return that doc.

Is there any way to search that document only using text inside of that html tag.

CodePudding user response：

You can use $regex operator:

db.collection.find({
  "html": {
    "$regex": "I am HTML"
  }
})

Working example

If you have text index on this collection, you can search as:

db.collection.find({
  $text: {
    $search: "\"I am html\""
  }
})

With double-quotes wrapped, you can search as exact phrase.

You can also search for exact phrases by wrapping them in double-quotes. If the $search string includes a phrase and individual terms, text search will only match documents that include the phrase.
