      Right now, the docs say that $text searches have the following restriction:

      "To use a $text query in an $or expression, all clauses in the $or array must be indexed."

      To get around this restriction, you have to do two separate queries and merge them together. This complicates things unnecessarily. Why is this restriction there? I propose it be removed.
