    Description

      [ed: original title "I believe there is no such thing as a covered text query."]

      I'm not sure about this so we need to confirm with mathias but I believe this page has inaccurate information.

      http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/return-text-queries-using-only-text-index/

      According to redbeard0531 this feature does not actually allow for covered queries as we always load the documents within the text search code path so attempts to achieve a covered text query with an additional field will actually increase index sizes (which will make query times slower) and provide no benefit.
