On this page

  • Steps
  • Learn More

You can run Atlas Search $search and $searchMeta queries from MongoDB Compass if you created the Atlas Search index for data on the Atlas cluster. You can also run $vectorSearch queries from MongoDB Compass if you have an existing Atlas Vector search index on your data in Atlas.

1
  1. From the Indexes tab, click Search Indexes.

  2. Hover over the index you want to use in your query.

2
  1. Click the Aggregate button.

    MongoDB Compass switches to the Aggregations tab where you can run your query.

  2. Construct your query.

    By default, MongoDB Compass selects the $search stage for your query. You can select the $searchMeta stage to use in your query. If you are using a vectorSearch type index in your query, you can only use the $vectorSearch stage in your query.

    Note

    The Atlas Search $search and $searchMeta and the Atlas Vector Search $vectorSearch pipeline stages must be the first stage in your aggregation pipeline.

  3. Click Run to run your query.
