I have sets of results which contain dates and I need to be able to search from within them. For example: { experience: [ { name: "Abc", startDate: ISODate("2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"), startDate: ISODate("2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z") }, { name: "Xyz", startDate: ISODate("2018-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"), startDate: ISODate("2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z") } ] } So I need to be able to do a `near` search across `experience.startDate` values, for example. The Date mapping documentation (https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/atlas-search/index-definitions/#date) says: > A date cannot be indexed if it is part of an array. And while the number documentation doesn't mention the same restriction by experimentation I have found it has the same resriction (strings dont however). Essentially this feature request is to remove this restriction for dates and numbers.
