      Allow for the simple creation of a wildcard index that indexes specific patterns below the wildcard:

       

      db.collection.createIndex(
  { "FieldHolder.$**.SearchSort": 1 }
)

       

       

      To capture only the SearchSort fields in an example like this:

       

       

      {
    FieldHolder: {
        Field1: {
            Meta: { Some: "Metadata we dont want to index" },
            More: { Metadata: "we don't want to index"},
            Value: "Some Value",
            SearchSort: "some value"
        },
        Field2: {
            Meta: { Some: "Metadata we dont want to index" },
            More: { Metadata: "we don't want to index"},
            Value: 1,
            SearchSort: "1",
        },
        Field3....
    }
}

       

      This would also more easily allow the implementation of non-sparse indexing on wildcards, where you could forcibly assume the existence of some field (SearchSort in this case)
