Summary

MongoDB Text Search: Experimental Feature in MongoDB 2.4` MongoDB is introducing an experimental text-search feature, to be released in version 2.4, as a step towards fulfilling community requests for this functionality. The feature aims to provide basic text search capabilities, which may be sufficient for some applications, but users can determine when MongoDB has crossed the threshold for more advanced features like Solr/Lucene. To configure text search, users can set the `textSearchEnabled` parameter in the mongo shell or through the command-line interface. An example demonstrates how to insert documents with text indexes and query for a specific word using the `text` command. The feature is still in its infancy, and MongoDB encourages users to try it out on their datasets and provide feedback. To test the feature, users can participate in project nights organized by the MongoDB User Group network or download the 2.3.2 development release.
