      My index is :

      {
                "v" : 1,
                "key" : {
                        "channelId" : 1,
                        "searchField" : 1
                },
                "name" : "channelId_1_searchField_1",
                "ns" : "search.searchSeriesOnChannel1"
}

      Here's a working query hinting not to use the index which returns 2 results :

      db.searchSeriesOnChannel1.find({$and : [{ "searchField" : { "$regex" : "_dr" , "$options" : "i"}, "channelId" : { "$in" : [ "CTVTo" , "CTVHT"]}}]}).sort({searchField:1}).hint({$natural:1}).explain()
{
        "cursor" : "BasicCursor",
        "isMultiKey" : false,
        "n" : 2,
        "nscannedObjects" : 21743,
        "nscanned" : 21743,
        "nscannedObjectsAllPlans" : 21743,
        "nscannedAllPlans" : 21743,
        "scanAndOrder" : true,
        "indexOnly" : false,
        "nYields" : 169,
        "nChunkSkips" : 0,
        "millis" : 59,
        "server" : "fonsemongo:27017",
        "filterSet" : false
}

      Using the index, it returns 62 elements because it discards the searchField $regex filter.

      db.searchSeriesOnChannel1.find({$and : [{ "searchField" : { "$regex" : "_dr" , "$options" : "i"}, "channelId" : { "$in" : [ "CTVTo" , "CTVHT"]}}]}).sort({searchField:1}).explain()
{
        "clauses" : [
                {
                        "cursor" : "BtreeCursor channelId_1_searchField_1",
                        "isMultiKey" : false,
                        "n" : 62,
                        "nscannedObjects" : 62,

      The combination of a $regex, $in and $sort using an index returns too many results. The sort is done on the field filtered with a $regex and that filter is completely discarded. We get 62 results with the index and 2 results without it.
