title: Disable stop word filtering in a MongoDB text search
body: <p>I am wondering if it would be possible to disable only the stop word filtering in the MongoDB text search. Sometimes I just want to search for words like &quot;you&quot;, &quot;I&quot;, &quot;was&quot;, etc. I would still like to take advantage of the <strong>stemming</strong>. <strong>Just not the stop word filtering</strong>.</p>
  <p><code>db.collection.find({$text: {$search: &quot;you&quot;}})</code></p>
  <p>The above would not return any results.</p>
  <p>But a traditional approach like</p>
  <p><code>db.collection.find({shortDescription: new RegExp(&quot;.*you.*&quot;,'i')})</code> would give me what I want.</p>
  <p>So, how can I have the text search but also be able to search these words (stop words).</p>
