MongoDB Netflix Clone
Atlas Search Workshop
Hello! 👋 This movie search application allows you to search lightning fast through a wide variety of data types through the sample_mflix.movies dataset offered free to download on MongoDB Atlas.
The MongoDB Netflix Clone implements many Atlas Search features from autocomplete to custom function scoring. Using the $search operator in a MongoDB aggregation pipeline, we can build fine-grained searches across text, numerics, and geospatial data. By building out this application, you'll learn all sorts of ways MongoDB allows you to build complex, fine-grained full-text searches on your Atlas data.
No additional servers or software needed. No need to keep data in sync. Everything is done in MongoDB Atlas.
Current features implemented in this Movie Search Engine demo application include:
- fuzzy matching
- highlighting
- autocomplete
- relevance-based scoring
- custom function scoring
Future Atlas Search features to implement can include:
- facets
- synonyms
