  • Why? I want to force mongodb to use LongitudeLatitude_indexContents_1_Prominent_-1 index so I specify it by name. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 4:45
  • It is not necessary to specify it by name, you can use the other syntax. Also, are you sure that the index name (and field name) has a capital "P" in there? Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 4:47
  • What about if you have SEVERAL indexes with longitudelatitude, indexcontents, and prominent? For example, longitudelatitude may be indexed as 2d and may also use geohaystack. Commented Sep 7, 2012 at 8:29
  • The index hint has to match the index definition, including field order. I don't think this will become ambiguous. Commented Sep 7, 2012 at 22:48
