Allow $count and $sort inside $search

Make $count and $sort directly with mongot, and dont lose time between mongot and mongodb.

    At MongoDB World last week, we announced that faster counts are now available with sharded collections. We also announced a feature called Stored Source Fields which help you achieve faster post-aggregation performance. You can use this feature to experience faster sorting with Atlas Search. You can read more about these two ( https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/new-ways-deliver-excellent-search-experiences-atlas-search ) features ( https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/new-ways-deliver-excellent-search-experiences-atlas-search ) here. ( https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/new-ways-deliver-excellent-search-experiences-atlas-search ) After trying Stored Source Fields, if it does not meet your performance requirements - please vote on this new feedback ( https://feedback.mongodb.com/forums/924868-atlas-search/suggestions/45316366-faster-sorting-with-atlas-search ) item.

    Having the the ability to sort big number of documents inside Atlas search is crucial. The alternative of using storedSource and sort stage after that is very slow and cannot be used in a user-facing application

    Hello, I'd like to know if this feature has been released or worked on? I'd like to use the search feature but if I use it the sort is extremely slow so I won't be able to use it without it.

    I think to add $sort and $count inside $search will be useful. But the implementation others Aggregation Pipeline Stages should need to do a $sort or $count at the end to have a clean query. Should be great if the $sort and $count as it is rigth now would be much faster.

    A faster $sort and $count is very important for our use case. For $count the solution presented by Marcus is already working; but what about $sort? When should we be able to test it?

    Hi Marcus, I did try the faster count and its performing well! I would need to know a way to perform faster sort as well.

    Have a collection with over 3 million documents. When conducting my Atlas $search aggregation without sorting, the results return anywhere from 30ms - 70ms... when I add a $sort the results ballon to anywhere from 150ms - 2s depending on my filter criteria. Would love for sorting in the $search stage to work! Looks like on Oct 11, 2021 someone on the Mongo team replied below that it would be best case one month, worst case two months when this feature would be available. It's been over 3 months now... any updates?!?

    $sort inside $search is the last thing to replace elastic within our application :) - upvote.
