Equivalent to mongo shell db.collection.runCommand() in Node.js

Question

I'd like to use full text search available in MongoDB 2.4. Text search is available through runCommand function e.g. db.collection.runCommand( "text", { search: "keywords"}). So, I'm wondering whether there is an equivalent to runCommand() function in mongojs or node-mongodb-native modules.

I know the question has been touched before but was never answered sufficiently. Thanks in advance.

btw, I've tried db.executeDbCommand({text:'comics', search:"you"},function(err, result) {});. result.documents['results'] variable is always an empty array, though. — Remon Nashid

The invocation looks correct to me. Are you sure you're not just getting an error ? For example, when I try the command without enabling text search I get something like { documents: [ { ok: 0, errmsg: 'text search not enabled' } ] ...} but note that err from the callback was still null. Even if you have text search enabled you still might be getting another error. — jimoleary

Thanks for your comment jimoleary. AFAICS there are no errors, here is the response: { documents: [ { queryDebugString: '||||||', language: 'english', results: [], stats: [Object], ok: 1 } ], index: 200, messageLength: 200, requestId: 2, responseTo: 3, responseFlag: 8, cursorId: { bsontype: 'Long', low: 0, high_: 0 }, startingFrom: 0, numberReturned: 1 } — Remon Nashid

btw, 'comics' in aforementioned example is supposed to be the collection. Also, when I run the command from mongo shell I do get results, and queryDebugString key equals "<keywords>||||||" rather than "||||||" which means that my keywords are not even passed. — Remon Nashid

I found that as an equivalent:

collection.find({ $text: { $search : "your search words" }})
  .toArray(function(err,results) {
    // ..callback stuff..
});

Were you able to get mongojs working for this? I've tried with no luck.
