                                             create a collection: 
  
 db.createCollection("customers", {collation: {locale: "en_US", caseLevel: false, caseFirst: "off", strength: 2, numericOrdering: false, alternate: "non-ignorable", maxVariable: "punct", normalization: false, backwards: false}}) 
  
 Create index with collation 
  
 db.customers.createIndex({ "_fts" : "text" , "_ftsx" : 1}, {name: "CustomerText", collation: { locale: "simple"}, "weights" : { "Locations.Address1" : 1 , "Locations.City" : 1 , "Locations.Contacts.FirstName" : 1 , "Locations.Contacts.LastName" : 1 , "Locations.Name" : 1 , "Name" : 1}})
