I have a collection in DocumentDB 5.0 that has a text index on several fields.
Some of those fields allow for periods to be part of the field value.

I am not getting results when searching the text index using phrase matching (wrapped in escaped double quotes), which should be returning the record.

How can I match against these values in the text index?
The only way I can think of would be to have a secondary field with a sanitized or encoded value to match on.

Sample Data in Collection “persons”:

...
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5def456f4efb441e2375bd9d"),
    "name": "some.bod3"
},
{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5def456f4efb441e2375cd1e"),
    "name": "nobod3"
}
...

Text Index Options

{
    "v" : 1,
    "name" : "Persons_TextIndex",
    "ns" : "mydatabase.persons",
    "weights" : {
        "name" : 1.0
    },
    "textIndexVersion" : 1
}

Search Query for Document w/ Period (No Results):
No results are returned for documents with the period in the indexed field

db.getCollection("persons").find(
    {
        "$text" : {
            "$search" : ""some.bod3""
        }
    }
);

Search Query for Document w/o Period (Result Found):
The expected result is found matching on the name field in the text index

db.getCollection("persons").find(
    {
        "$text" : {
            "$search" : ""nobod3""
        }
    }
);

I tried using the phrase matching characters to wrap the search term:

• ""some.bod3""

I tried many permutations to see if escaping/removing/encoding the period through other ways would yield a match:

• "some.bod3"
• "some"."bod3"
• 'some"."bod3'
• "somebod3"
• "some%2Ebod3"
• "some.*bod3"
