MongoDB error- must have $meta projection for all $meta sort keys while performing text search in NodeJS

717

I'm using the below query to perform text search in NodeJS, to sort the MongoDB results in order of relevance score:

db.getCollection('posts').find({ $text: { $search: "search string"} },{ score: { $meta: "textScore" } }).sort( { score: { $meta: "textScore" } } ).toArray();

I'm getting MongoDB error- must have $meta projection for all $meta sort keys but when i query on MongoDB directly it is working fine. What's wrong here?

In the recent versions of native MongoDB Driver, you need to include project option instead of specifying parameters to find and findOne query as shown below.

 db.collection('posts').find({ $text: { $search: "search string"} }).project({ score: { $meta: "textScore" } }).sort( { score: { $meta: "textScore" } } ).toArray();
