Extra unwanted backslash in Morphia Query object

[sahar922]

I'm using Morphia 1.5.8 (Java 8) MongoDB (V4.x), trying to use Search for a phrase, so my code looks like :

datastore.find(myEntity).disableValidation().search("\\\"" + textToFilter + "\\\"");

Debug looks good, but in running time the query is being sent with the three backslashes instead of just one, and the query return 0 results.

What am I missing? thanks!

actual generated query: "$text" : { "$search" : "\\\"filteredText\\\"" }

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a TEXT index
2. Try search by text with \" prefix and suffix
3. execute

Expected behavior
The query should be \"filteredText\"
** Please complete the following information: **

• Server Version: 4.X
• Morphia Version: 1.5.8

try this:

datastore.find(myEntity).disableValidation().search("\"" + textToFilter + "\"");

Though i have to ask, are you searching for that text wrapped in quotes? i.e. are you trying to find "something" or just something? If it's the latter then you can simply pass textToFilter to search().
