Definition

queryString: The queryString operator supports querying a combination of indexed fields and values. You can perform text, wildcard, regular expression, fuzzy, and range searches on string fields using the queryString operator.

Syntax

queryString has the following syntax:

1 {
2   "$search": {
3      "index": <index name>, // optional, defaults to "default"
4      "queryString": {
5         "defaultPath": "<default-field-to-search>",
6         "query": "(<field-to-search>: (<search-values>) AND|OR (<search-values>)) AND|OR (<search-values>)"
7      }
8   }
9 }

Options

queryString uses the following terms to construct a query:

Field

Type

Description

Necessity

defaultPath

string

The indexed field to search by default. Atlas Search only searches the field in defaultPath if you omit the field to search in the query.

yes

query

string

One or more indexed fields and values to search. Fields and values are colon-delimited. For example, to search the plot field for the string baseball, use plot:baseball. The following operators are available to combine multiple search criteria:

You can combine the fields and values using the following:

`AND`	Indicates `AND` boolean operator. All search values must be present for a document to be included in the results.
`OR`	Indicates `OR` boolean operator. At least one of the search value must be present for a document to be included in the results.
`NOT`	Indicates `NOT` boolean operator. Specified search value must be absent for a document to be included in the results.
`TO`	Indicates the range to search. You can use `[]` for an inclusive range, `{}` for an exclusive range, or `{]` and `[}` for an half-open range. Any value that falls within the specified range must be present for a document to be included in the results.
`()`	Delimiters for subqueries. Use the parentheses to group fields and values to search.

Tip

Note

For fuzzy search, the queryString operator matches terms up to at most 2 edits. Higher distances are not useful as it might match a significant amount of the dictionary term. For example, "foo":"stop"~2 is equal to the following:

{ "path": "foo", "query": "stop", "maxEdits": 2 }

For proximity search, the queryString operator matches terms using the distance specified between words in the search phrase. For example, "foo":"New York"~2 is equal to the following:

{ "path": "foo", "query": "New York", "slop": 2 }

Note

The queryString operator doesn't support a wildcard query with * as the first character in the query. The queryString operator treats any character preceding the * as prefix or as characters that must exactly match.

yes

score

object

The score assigned to matching search results. You can modify the default score using the following options:

boost: multiply the result score by the given number.
constant: replace the result score with the given number.
function: replace the result score with the given expression.

For information on using score in your query, see Score the Documents in the Results.

Note

When you query values in arrays, Atlas Search doesn't alter the score of the matching results based on the number of values inside the array that matched the query. The score would be the same as a single match regardless of the number of matches inside an array.

Examples

The following examples use the movies collection in the sample_mflix database. If you have the sample dataset on your cluster , you can create the Atlas Search index named default with dynamic mappings and run the example queries on your cluster .

Boolean Operator Queries

Basic Examples

The following example uses the queryString operator to query for movies with the title Rocky and either IV, 4, or Four.

Example

The following query searches for the combination of Rocky and either IV, 4, or Four at path title in the movies collection. In the following query, a field is specified in the defaultPath, but no fields are specified in the query. The query includes a $project stage to exclude all fields except title.

1 db.movies.aggregate([
2    {
3       $search: {
4          "queryString": {
5             "defaultPath": "title",
6             "query": "Rocky AND (IV OR 4 OR Four)"
7          }
8       }
9    },
10    {
11       $project: {
12          "_id": 0,
13          "title": 1
14       }
15    }
16 ])

For this query, Atlas Search performs a search at defaultPath because there are no fields in the query. It returns the following results:

{ "title" : "Rocky IV" }

The following example uses the queryString operator to query for movies with the title Rocky and not II, III, VI, or V.

Example

The following query searches for the string Rocky and not any form of the numbers 2, 3, 4, or 5 at path title in the movies collection. In the following query, a field is specified in the defaultPath, but no fields are specified in the query. The query includes a $project stage to exclude all fields except title.

1 db.movies.aggregate([
2    {
3       $search: {
4          "queryString": {
5             "defaultPath": "title",
6             "query": "Rocky AND NOT ((II OR 2 OR Two) OR (III OR 3 OR Three) OR (IV OR 4 OR Four) OR (V OR 5 OR Five))"
7          }
8       }
9    },
10    {
11       $project: {
12          "_id": 0,
13          "title": 1
14       }
15    }
16 ])

For this query, Atlas Search performs a search at defaultPath because there are no fields in the query. It returns the following results:

[
  { title: 'Rocky' },
  { title: 'Rocky Marciano' },
  { title: 'Rocky Balboa' },
  { title: 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' },
  { title: 'The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle' }
]

The following example uses the queryString operator to query for movies with the title The Italian in the Drama genre.

Example

The following query searches a combination of fields for movies with the title The Italian in the Drama genre. The plot field in the defaultPath will be searched only if no matching results can be found in either of the fields specified in the query field. The query field contains escaped double quotes as delimiters for the phrase to search.

The query includes a $project stage to:

Exclude all fields except _id, title, plot, and genres
Add a field named score

1 db.movies.aggregate([
2    {
3       $search: {
4          "queryString": {
5             "defaultPath": "plot",
6             "query": "title:\"The Italian\" AND genres:Drama"
7          }
8       }
9    },
10    {
11       $project: {
12          "_id": 1,
13          "title": 1,
14          "plot": 1,
15          "genres": 1,
16          score: { $meta: "searchScore" }
17       }
18    }
19 ])

This query returns the following results:

1 {
2   "_id" : ObjectId("573a1390f29313caabcd56df"),
3   "plot" : "An immigrant leaves his sweetheart in Italy to find a better life across the sea in the grimy slums of New York. They are eventually reunited and marry. But life in New York is hard and ...",

26   "title" : "Piazza Fontana: The Italian Conspiracy",
27   "score" : 3.4441356658935547
28 }

The following example uses the queryString operator to query for movie plots that contain the terms captain or kirk and enterprise.

Example

The following query searches for a combination of terms, captain or kirk and enterprise, in the plot field. It includes a $limit stage to limit the output to 3 results and a $project stage to:

Exclude all fields except title, plot, and fullplot
Add a field named score

1 db.movies.aggregate([
2    {
3       $search: {
4          "queryString": {
5             "defaultPath": "fullplot",
6             "query": "plot:(captain OR kirk) AND enterprise"
7          }
8       }
9    },
10    {
11       $limit: 3
12    },
13    {
14       $project: {
15          "_id": 0,
16          "title": 1,
17          "plot": 1,
18          "fullplot": 1,
19          score: { $meta: "searchScore" }
20       }
21    }
22 ])

This query returns the following results:

1 {
2   "plot" : "Captain Picard, with the help of supposedly dead Captain Kirk, must stop a madman willing to murder on a planetary scale in order to enter an energy ribbon.",
3   "fullplot" : "In the late 23rd century, the gala maiden voyage of the third Starship Enterprise (NCC-1701-B) boasts such luminaries as Pavel Chekov, Montgomery Scott and the legendary Captain James T. Kirk as guests. But the maiden voyage turns to disaster as the unprepared ship is forced to rescue two transport ships from a mysterious energy ribbon. The Enterprise manages to save a handful of the ships' passengers and barely makes it out intact... but at the cost of Captain Kirk's life. Seventy-eight years later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D find themselves at odds with the renegade scientist Tolian Soran... who is destroying entire star systems. Only one man can help Picard stop Soran's scheme... and he's been dead for seventy-eight years.",

But an urgent mission interrupts their Earth-bound shore leave. A renegade Vulcan named Sybok has taken three ambassadors hostage on Nimbus III, the Planet of Galactic Peace. This event also attracts the attention of a Klingon captain who wants to make a name for himself and sets out to pursue the Enterprise. Sybok's ragtag army captures the Enterprise and takes her on a journey to the center of the galaxy in search of the Supreme Being.",

15   "fullplot" : "A massive alien spacecraft of enormous power is approaching Earth, destroying everything in its path. The only star ship in range is the USS Enterprise still in dry-dock after a major overhaul. As Captain Willard Decker readies his ship and his crew to face this menace, Admiral James T.

But it has been three years since Kirk last commanded the Enterprise on its historic five year mission... is he up to the task of saving the Earth?",
16   "title" : "Star Trek: The Motion Picture",
17   "score" : 8.322310447692871
18 }

The documents in the above results match because:

In the first document, the plot field, which is the field to search per the query, contains both captain and kirk, although only either one is required to meet the criteria for a match. For the term enterprise, Atlas Search searches the fullplot field, which is the defaultPath, because the plot field does not contain enterprise, and finds enterprise in the fullplot field.
In the second document, the plot field contains all three search terms.
In the third document, the plot field contains kirk and enterprise.

Advanced Examples

The following example uses the queryString operator to query for movie plots that contain the terms captain, kirk, and chess. This example shows how different grouping of the same search terms using parentheses can result in different documents to be included in the search results.

Example

The following queries search for a combination of the terms, captain, kirk, and chess in the plot field. Each query returns a different result depending on how the search terms are grouped.

The queries also includes a $project stage to:

Exclude all fields except title, plot, and fullpath
Add a field named score

The following query searches for chess and either captain or kirk in the plot field.

1 db.movies.aggregate([
2   {
3     $search: {
4        "queryString": {
5           "defaultPath": "fullplot",
6           "query": "plot:(captain OR kirk) AND chess"
7        }
8     }
9   },
10   {
11     $project: {
12        "_id": 0,
13        "title": 1,
14        "plot": 1,
15        "fullplot": 1,
16        score: { $meta: "searchScore" }
17     }
18   }
19 ])

This query returns the following results:

{
 "fullplot" : "When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.",
 "plot" : "After the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction.",
 "title" : "Star Trek Into Darkness",
 "score" : 7.968792915344238
}

The document in the above results is a match because the plot contains the terms captain and kirk, although only one is needed to meet the criteria for a match, and the term chess, although not in the plot, appears in the fullplot, which is the defaultPath.

The following query searches for captain or both kirk and chess in the plot field.

db.movies.aggregate([
  {
    $search: {
       "queryString": {
          "defaultPath": "fullplot",

The question is, can he keep this pace up?",
 "score" : 3.2536067962646484
}

The documents in the above results match because the plot field contains the term captain. The first document gets a higher score because Atlas Search also finds the terms kirk and chess in the fullplot field although the terms are not required to be present to meet the criteria for a match.

Range Queries

The following example uses the queryString operator to query the movie titles a range of textual values from the characters count to any character (defined using the wildcard character *) in ascending alphabetical order.

Example

1  db.movies.aggregate([
2    {
3      "$search": {
4        "queryString": {
5           "defaultPath": "plot",
6           "query": "title:[count TO *]"
7        }
8      }
9    },
10    {
11      "$limit": 10
12    },
13    {
14      "$project": {
15        "_id": 0,
16        "title": 1
17      }
18    }
19  ])

1 [
2   { title: 'Blacksmith Scene' },
3   { title: 'The Great Train Robbery' },
4   { title: 'The Land Beyond the Sunset' },
5   { title: 'A Corner in Wheat' },
6   { title: 'Winsor McCay, the Famous Cartoonist of the N.Y. Herald and His Moving Comics' },
7   { title: 'Traffic in Souls' },
8   { title: 'Gertie the Dinosaur' },
9   { title: 'In the Land of the Head Hunters' },
10   { title: 'The Perils of Pauline' },
11   { title: 'The Birth of a Nation' }
12 ]

Atlas Search results include movies with titles Blacksmith Scene and A Corner in Wheat although the range in the query starts from characters count. When you index with the default analyzer, lucene.standard, Atlas Search creates separate tokens for the terms in the title field and matches the query term to the individual tokens. Specifically, Atlas Search creates the following tokens, at least one of which (indicated by √) matches the query criteria:

Title	Standard Analyzer Tokens
Blacksmith Scene	`blacksmith`, `scene` √
A Corner in Wheat	`a`, `corner`, `in`, `wheat` √

If you index using the lucene.keyword analyzer, Atlas Search would create a single token for the whole string in the title field, resulting in results similar to the following for the same query:

[
  { title: 'è Nous la Libertè' },
  { title: 'tom thumb' },
  { title: 'è nos amours' },
  { title: 'èke och hans vèrld' },
  { title: 'èdipussi' },
  { title: 's/y Glèdjen' },
  { title: 'èAy, Carmela!' },
  { title: 'èlisa' },
  { title: 'èxtasis' },
  { title: 'eXistenZ' }
]

The following example uses the queryString operator to query the movie genres for drama and the titles for a range of textual values between man and men, including both, in ascending alphabetical order.

Example

1  db.movies.aggregate([
2    {
3       "$search": {
4         "queryString": {
5         "defaultPath": "plot",
6         "query": "title:[man TO men] AND genres: Drama"
7       }
8     }
9   },
10   {
11     "$limit": 10
12   },
13   {
14     "$project": {
15       "_id": 0,
16       "title": 1,
17       "genres": 1
18      }
19    }
20  ])

1 [
2   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'The Wedding March' },
3   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'Maria Chapdelaine' },
4   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'Of Mice and Men' },
5   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'All the King's Men' },
6   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'Wuya yu maque' },
7   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'The Men' },
8   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'The Member of the Wedding' },
9   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'The Great Man' },
10   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'A Matter of Dignity' },
11   { genres: [ 'Drama' ], title: 'The Last Angry Man' }
12 ]

The documents in the results match because the genres field contains the term drama and the movie title field contains terms between Man and Men in alphabetical order (Man, Maque, March, Maria, Matter, Member, and Men in the results).

Wildcard Queries

The following examples use the queryString operator to query for movie titles using fuzzy, wildcard, and regular expressions. The queries include a $project stage to exclude all fields except title.

The following query uses fuzzy (~) to do a fuzzy search in the title field for movie titles that contain terms similar to catch with up to a two character variation.

1 db.movies.aggregate([
2   {
3     "$search": {
4       "queryString": {
5         "defaultPath": "title",
6         "query": "catch~2"
7       }
8     }
9   },
10   {
11     "$limit": 10
12   },
13   {
14     "$project": {
15        "_id": 0,
16        "title": 1

6   { title: 'Catch Me Daddy' },
7   { title: 'Death Watch' },
8   { title: 'Patch Adams' },
9   { title: "Batch '81" },
10   { title: 'Briar Patch' },
11   { title: 'Night Watch' }
12 ]

The following query uses wildcard expression to search the title field for movie titles that contain characters cou*t?*, where * indicates any additional number of characters and ? indicates any single character.

1 db.movies.aggregate([
2   {
3     "$search": {
4       "queryString": {
5         "defaultPath": "title",
6         "query": "cou*t?*"
7       }
