Indexing and search about mongoose-i18n-localize HOT 5 CLOSED

This module just replaces the values with i18n: true with an object that contains the values of all defined languages, so cross-language searches are not directly supported. You should check the mongoose api to find what you are looking for.

Yeah, already looked into this quite deeply. It seems when you have a dynamic key for an object there's no way to do a search across all keys (something like {'name.*': /searchstring/}), unless you declare them in advance and enumerate the individual keys. Then you end up with a million $ors and huge objects with redundant keys.

That also means for my app I would have to declare all potential languages.

This was also a problem when I was working with MySQL, where you could serialize a string, but then it removed the possibility of indexing it properly.

You need to declare all potentials languages anyway, so the best option would be to write a wrapper that does what you describe above.

Thanks. Still not finalised exactly how I'm going to do this with a search facility unless search on the client end is done using separate languages.

from mongoose-i18n-localize.

How did you made that work? Even if I specify each language in the index it won't work.

posts.index({
  'title.fr': 'text',
  'title.en': 'text'
});

edit: or you went with the manual regex way? That seem to work but it's not pretty and won't work well with french special character.
