I have been using Firebase for about 2 years now…
Thank you guys for making this awesome project.
Full text search is a feature that delights everyone who uses it as it makes finding the things that matter to you easier to access…
There are alternatives that the Firebase team have suggested on their site and though these alternatives work, nothing beats native support…
It will be awesome having this feature and it’d make firebase more complete and robust for other application types like shopping and e-commerce

Most critical feature. More power to Firestore is needed. Look at MongoDB as a reference to what we expect a modern DB should be like.

Ack. We are looking into supporting Full text Search as it's a highly requested capability.

Do you have any updates on this request? Could you maybe share if this feature will be on the roadmap in the near future?

Hi! Thank you so much for this feedback. The team is aware of the need for more querying capabilities and is investing heavily in this area. We have introduced COUNT and have some new things up our sleeves at Google I/O next week. That being said, We totally understand the need for full-text search itself and are looking to address this in the future.
In the meantime, we have extensions for full text search:
https://extensions.dev/extensions/algolia/firestore-algolia-search
https://extensions.dev/extensions/meilisearch/firestore-meilisearch
https://extensions.dev/extensions/elastic/firestore-elastic-app-search
https://extensions.dev/extensions/typesense/firestore-typesense-search -

I think https://www.meilisearch.com/ is doing really great! it would be great if this can be integrated into Firebase as its open source
