Text Search and Pattern Matching in MongoDB
The performance impact of a regex query depends primarily on whether or not it can use an index.
This training covers the text search functionalities of MongoDB: full-text search via the $text operator and pattern matching via regular expressions ($regex). It is aimed at developers and analysts who work with semi-structured or unstructured data, such as customer reviews, product descriptions, social media posts, and user-generated content.
Recommended prerequisites: basic knowledge of MongoDB (Compass, Shell, connection to a cluster)
