Set text search feature in mongodb

Question

I have a production server hosted in mongohq with version 2.4.6. I need to add text index to one of the collections. I tried using the below command from mongo client connecting to my remote server:

db.logs.ensureIndex({title: 'text', description: 'text'})

By default, we cannot add index to production server, since it is restricted by mongohq. But I need to restart the server like below to enable text search:

mongod --setParameter textSearchEnabled=true

But this is possible only for local servers.

Does anyone know how to get this done on remote mongohq server?

The first link was helpful since it says not to enable text-search on production. But still need to know the reason. Thank you. – Abhilash Chelankara Jun 06 '14 at 05:46
