Mongodb: Text Indexes vs Atlas Search

These two features look pretty simmilar, but Atlas Search is fresh and maybe more powerfull. Is Atlas Search a replacement for Text Indexes in MongoDb? Will Text Indexes be deprecated? Did I missed some essential difference? Is Atlas Search a proprietar feature of Atlas as cloud platform?

Solution

  • Is Atlas Search a proprietary feature of Atlas as cloud platform?

    Yes, as of now.

    Atlas Search is one of the selling points of Atlas (among many).

    Atlas Search is [newer] and more powerful

    Also true.

    Will Text Indexes be deprecated?

    I would say unlikely given that on-premise customers then would be left without text search at all, but I am not involved in this decision.
