I’m making a recipe blog website using mongoose, nodejs and express. I am making a search form, but the text search not giving the correct output.
In Recipe.js schema I added the following parameters, that in which values I want to search, I’m added the following ones: recipeSchema.index({ name: 'text', description: 'text', ingredients: 'text', categoryByNationality: 'text', categoryByServing: 'text'});
When I started this project, i had only recipeSchema.index({ name: 'text', description: 'text',}); and it’s worked, but after a few months later I added the ingredients, categoryByNationality and categoryByServing and when I search for category, not finding any recipe. If I search for name and description, its working fine. When I delete all this recipeSchema.index({.......}) code, working with the name and with description again.
What is causing this problem, any idea?
Controller.js
exports.searchRecipe = async(req, res) => {
//searchTerm
try {
let searchTerm = req.body.searchTerm;
let recipe = await Recipe.find({ $text: { $search: searchTerm, $diacriticSensitive: true } });
res.render('search', { title: 'Cooking Blog - Search', recipe });
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).send({message: error.message || "Error Occured"});
}
}Recipe schema
