Exclusion Operator Of Text Search In Mongodb

In this article, we will discuss the exclusion operator of text search in MongoDB.

Purpose

The exclusion operator is used to exclude specific words from the search query. For exclusion, we use the minus sign (-).

db.collection.find({
    $text: {
        $search: "[search query] – [wordToExclude]"
    }
})

Consider the following collection: -

To exclude the word Action2, we will write the following query: -

db.authors.find({
    $text: {
        $search: "Mongodb -Action2"
    }
})
