Support for nested datatype search

It appears that Atlas Search does not yet support nested documents in arrays like MongoDB https://docs.mongodb.com/v4.2/reference/operator/query/elemMatch/

    Tutorial for how to implement can be found here. ( https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/atlas-search/tutorial/embedded-documents-tutorial/ )

    Yes, Much needed. We are stuck on the point as we need to search where a single nested document from an array matches all the conditions. like it is supported with elemMatch in Mongo Search.

    If you have array of objects - it's impossible to allows arrays of objects to be indexed in a way that they can be queried independently of each other. Using 'document' type can return fields that are flattened into multi-value fields, and the association between fields in subobjects is lost. Details can be found in a link above.

    It does for strings. For example if you had the mapping: ``` { "analyzer": "lucene.standard", "searchAnalyzer": "lucene.standard", "mappings": { "dynamic": false, "fields": { "values": { "fields": { "stringValue": { "type": "string" } }, "type": "document" } } } } ``` And a document in your db: ``` { values: [ { textValue: "here is some example text" } } } ``` And the query: ``` db.answers.aggregate([ { $searchBeta: { near: { query: "example", path: "values.textValue" } } } ]) ``` Then it will work...
