how do you insert the record of title : Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure?

Solution in pymongo

@sachindevtomar

mayurghadiya ... your most of the solution are correct but the 3rd one searching of text is not working. i think it could be solved by using Regex.

@vikas-git

Hey @Dean321,
Here is your solution
db.movies.insert({title : "Pee Wee Herman's Big Adventure"});

for check your inserted document use:
db.movies.find().pretty();

I recently learn about mongodb,can someone know me what's the solution of Last query which is :
find all comments belonging to the post "Reports a bug in your code"

I am using mongo 2.4.9 version.

Thanks

@deepak786

@sachindevtomar, to make the text search work, first you need to create an index on the synopsis key. After that text search operations will work.
db.movies.createIndex({synopsis: "text"})
Read the documentation at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/text-search/

get all documents where actors include "Brad Pitt".
When i am using db.movies.find({actors:"Brad Pitt"}) i am getting output only from the first query inserted.But there are more values on Brad Pitt. So, How can i get all the multiple values named Bradd Pitt?

TEXT SEARCH

  1. db.movies.find({$text: {$search: "Bilbo"}})
  2. db.movies.find({$text: {$search: "Gandalf"}})
  3. db.movies.find({$text: {$search: "Bilbo -Gandalf"}})
  4. db.movies.find({$text: {$search: "dwarves hobbit"}})
  5. db.movies.find({$text: {$search: "gold dragon"}})

#5 should actually be db.movies.find({$text: {$search: '"gold" "dragon"'}}) since we want "gold" AND "dragon" to both be in the returned search.
