We need text search to "somehow" work locally and ci.

We've a multiregional team and development has to continue if there are internet problems in one of our offices.

Our workflow consists of :

• unitTest using in-memory-mongodb

• local testing, using the developers local mongo instance

• test env testing with a QA team (using atlas, but <30m)

• production launch

With the current feature set, the first time we can test a feature is on production. Even if low-tier availability was there the other two issues are blockers as we won't just ditch TDD for textSearch.

Can we get Search on-prem? Is this always going to be an Atlas-only feature?

Right now you can only search over one collection. I'd like to be able to search over several collections at the same time.

Right now it seems like I can query indexes from the mongo shell but not create them, unless I am missing something in the docs?

I want to use my own encryption key so I know that my search data is encrypted with credentials I manage myself

Right now Atlas Search highlighting only supports text in the sentence surrounding a match, ignoring any other sentences in a field that have also been indexed.

I would like to be able to change the default behavior to meet my needs.

My organization has a few use cases where we have a service 'join' various docs and write them into a 'consolidated doc' in elastic search to support various nested query requirements. It would be great if we could use FTS on a mongo/atlas view as we could then eliminate the need for our data joining service and its associated latency and consistency issues.

Also fyi - it appears this is 'possible' in the current Atlas portal/UI and via the API. You can define a full text index on a view - but it disappears after a minute or two.

Allow for the use of the $searchBeta operator in all SDKs

I don't want to have to write my index definition over again. Is there a way I can import or transform it so that my existing definition can just work?

In Elastic we leverage basic built-ins like "more like this" so we don't show zero results sometimes and also as a simple recommendation engine in cases we don't use our own custom recommendation logic

In my company Marketing often wants to promote a search for a given period of time as a paid ad. I have to manually update the search index to do this; I'd love a way to just pin a search result to #1 for a period of time, like two weeks.
