How to set index type 'text' using mongodb compass?

Question

I am currently using mongodb compass, I want to create index with type 'text'. I followed steps given on https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/indexes/#single-field. However, I failed to create index with type 'text'. In compass GUI, dropdown titled 'Select a type' does not show type 'text' in it's dropdown. Am I missing anything ?

Thanks, in advance.

Wondering the same thing. Is this only for the paid/subscription versions? – Stratosphere

I think it is not possible through the interface... You can, -as you already know for sure- do mongo, use [database], db.[collection].ensureIndex({"field":"text"}). Compass will show text indexes thou. – Magnetoelectricity

It's not currently implemented. Here is the ticket for it: jira.mongodb.org/browse/COMPASS-520 – Updraft

its so nice of mongo people not even mentioning that its not possible! no hint about it here: docs.mongodb.com/compass/master/indexes – Feuchtwanger
