Text Search with regex
It would be great if Text Search allows us to query with regular expressions. E.g.
mycoll.find({ $text: { $search: "super%"} })
Thank you for considering my request.

I am not sure if in this way text index is used. Is it?

You can do text search with regex but it won't use the syntax you included above. You can read about the syntax here:
https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/atlas-search/regex/
Here is an example from the docs:
db.movies.aggregate([
{
"$search": {
"regex": {
"path": "title",
"query": "(.*) Seattle"
}
}
},
{
$project: {
"_id": 0,
"title": 1
}
}
])
