mongoose text search not returning results - node.js

Question

I am trying to create a simple text search on a combined index.
Here is my mongoose model:
// models/user.js
// load the things we need
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
// define the schema for our user model
var itemSchema = mongoose.Schema({
globalinfo : {
ownerobjectid : String,
name : String,
desc : String,
startdate : Date,
enddate : Date,
price : Number,
status : String,
statuscss : String,
dateadded : Date,
locationline1 : String,
locationline2 : String,
locationline3 : String,
locationtown : String,
locationpostcode : String,
locationlatitude : Number,
locationlongitude : Number,
termsapprove : Boolean,
friendlyurl : String,
itemsearchinfo : String,
}
});
itemSchema.index(
{
"globalinfo.itemsearchinfo": "text",
"globalinfo.name": "text"
}
); // schema level
// create the model for users and expose it to our app
module.exports = mongoose.model('Item', itemSchema);
This is my search query:
Item.find(
{ $text : { $search : "item" } }
).exec(function(err, items) {
The issue is that the query always returns no results!
I have one document in the model:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("56781cb97ae92ff08b55d4f1"),
"globalinfo" : {
"friendlyurl" : "item-a",
"dateadded" : ISODate("2015-12-21T15:37:29.591Z"),
"itemsearchinfo" : "Woop lawn mower for rent!\nYou should use this space to describe the item in detail and make it appealing\nTo the renter write your stuff here.",
"statuscss" : "na",
"status" : "Not Available Yet",
"locationlongitude" : null,
"locationlatitude" : null,
"locationpostcode" : "test",
"locationtown" : "test",
"locationline3" : "",
"locationline2" : "",
"locationline1" : "test",
"termsapprove" : true,
"price" : 3,
"enddate" : ISODate("2015-12-31T00:00:00.000Z"),
"startdate" : ISODate("2015-12-23T00:00:00.000Z"),
"desc" : "\n <h3>woop Lawn Mower for Rent! </h3>\n <p>You should use this space to describe the item in detail and make it appealing to the renter <strong>Write your stuff here.</strong> \n </p>",
"name" : "item A",
"ownerobjectid" : "56781909155232b7871edb17"
},
"__v" : 0
}
The output of db.items.getIndexes():
[
{
"v" : 1,
"key" : {
"_id" : 1
},
"name" : "_id_",
"ns" : "whatplot_local_db.items"
},
{
"v" : 1,
"key" : {
"_fts" : "text",
"_ftsx" : 1
},
"name" : "itemsearchinfo_text_name_text",
"ns" : "whatplot_local_db.items",
"background" : true,
"weights" : {
"itemsearchinfo" : 1,
"name" : 1
},
"default_language" : "english",
"language_override" : "language",
"textIndexVersion" : 2
}
]

Have you tried re-indexing the collection?
Mongo command:
db.collection.reIndex();
The issue was with the way I was indexing. Using double quotes does not work:
itemSchema.index(
{
"globalinfo.itemsearchinfo": "text",
"globalinfo.name": "text"
}
); // schema level
However single quotes does:
itemSchema.index(
{
'globalinfo.itemsearchinfo': "text",
'globalinfo.name': "text"
}
); // schema level
