I'm implementing a search function for a node app with mongoose. I'm fairly new to node.js and mongoose. I implemented a search function following this answer. It works and gives me the results.
But the problem is it gives an array of whole objects. All I need is titles and IDs. Could anyone please suggest me how to get those.
this is my code
Model.find(
{ $text : { $search : req.params.searchtext }},
{score : { $meta: "textScore" }}
)
.sort({ score : { $meta : 'textScore' } })
.exec(function(err, results) {
if (err) {
throw err;
return res.status(403).send({success: false});
} else{
res.json({success: true, results: results});
}
});
this is another code where I'm finding a similar list.
Model.find({
'createdBy.id' : user._id
},'title _id' ,function(err, result) { #callback};
but I cannot use 'title _id'
in the search function since the $meta
sort key needs to be there for sort the results.
