Don’t use Cosmos unless you like broken SDKs and lying product managers.

I understand that you’re not satisfied with the Cosmos C# SDK because of several incompatiblities and odds. I also came across these quirks while implementing a proof of concept leveraging CosmosDB for NoSql (formerly DocumentDB).
However, this does not apply here.
The CosmosDB for MongoDB (vCore) has nothing in common with the mentioned SDK. Instead, the Mongo C# driver is being used to connect. That’s a completely different SDK maintained and released by the MongoDB team: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-csharp-driver
It’s no even compatible with CosmosDB for NoSql.
Hi Khelan,
Do you also plan to support “text search” Indexes? When not, will there be a possibility to connect Azure Cognitive Search to the new MongoDB vCore offer? Currently, it’s impossible to connect a Azure Search Service.
The reason for this question, we’re currently using Autocomplete and wildcard search of MongoDB.
Hey Sven,
Yes, we support “text search” indexes. Check out our doc for details. You can build an autocomplete feature using these indexes within Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore. For wildcard search, we support regex wildcard matching and wildcard indexing, unsure if this what you’re looking for?
Regarding connecting Azure Cognitive Search to MongoDB vCore, while direct connection with Azure Search Service isn’t currently possible, we’re actively exploring options to improve integration.
@Khelan Modi Great news. When will it be available in Germany West Central?
We’re currently in progress and expect availability next quarter.
