Allow multiple text indexes per collection

MongoDb only allow one text index by collection, in contrast of other index types. This is a limitation that makes it difficult to develop projects with search functionality, for example, if you want to add a text search for advanced users on all fields and a public search on a subset of fields, there isn't a simple and performant way to solve it. Many developers end up using other products like elastic search, or creating additional collections and using lookup, or using preg_reg or building smart indexes when the creation of multiple text indexes per collection would allow a quick, easy, and efficient solution for many of these scenarios.   This would be a good feature for mongodb :)

    We recommend using Atlas Search for this https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/atlas-search/. It supports multiple indexes.
