Revisiting this request, MongoDB announced plans to support search and vector search features in both MongoDB Community Edition and MongoDB Enterprise Advanced at .local NYC 2024. Work is underway on bringing these features to our self-managed offerings.
We anticipate a public preview for search and vector search on MongoDB Community edition later in 2025 and would like to move quickly on making a GA version available towards the end of 2025 or beginning of 2026. Around the time we make search and vector search features GA for MongoDB Community Edition, we anticipate a preview release of these features for MongoDB Enterprise Advanced.
Great things are in the works! Stay tuned for updates coming soon.

The impossibility to use full text search on prem with mongodb is one of the reason we switched to another database software. You waited two years (yes, TWO YEARS !!!) to announce that a full text search capability will never be available on prem, while customers, like us, used your technologies for their backend and were waiting for them to be available locally. By making full text search - and apparently your future services as well - only available through your managed solution, is a vendor lock-in attempt and prevent many businesses to choose your solution.
After uncountables headaches trying to synchonize mongodb with elasticsearch, we finally looked at two other solutions, offering JSON data structures support and full text search capabilities on prem from the get-go: CouchDB and Redis. We finally switched to Redis, which has a better integration of services.
Making some features unavailable on prem was a bad move, and may have a negative impact in the long run. We can't trust your company anymore with that kind of strategy in mind. A managed service suits better some companies, especially when they have to manage data across many countries. But others need to have full control on their data, and some can't afford to start with a managed service, and need to start locally. By not keeping both solutions on par with the features you propose, you are keeping away a large part of your user base.
