      If you create a text index and specify a field weight of 0 or less, you get a confusing error message: 'score for word too high'. This affects version 1 and version 2 text indexes:

      > db.newColl.ensureIndex({a: 'text'}, {weights: {foo: 0}})
WriteResult({
	"nInserted" : 0,
	"writeError" : {
		"code" : 16674,
		"errmsg" : "score for word too high"
	}
})

> db.newColl.ensureIndex({a: 'text'}, {weights: {foo: 0}, textIndexVersion: 1})
WriteResult({
	"nInserted" : 0,
	"writeError" : {
		"code" : 17365,
		"errmsg" : "score for word too high"
	}
})
