Answer 1

In case of text search,
$text performs a text search on the content of the fields indexed with a text index. A $text expression has the following syntax:

{
  $text:
    {
      $search: <string>,
      $language: <string>,
      $caseSensitive: < boolean>,
      $diacriticSensitive: < boolean>
    }
}

and In case of normal search,it uses PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression) means Unlike text search, we do not need to do any configuration or command to use regular expressions.
