      I was just tracking some slow queries and found queries like:

      db.Example.find({ "indices.text":

      { $all: [ "le", "mois", "suivant" ] }

      , lc: "fra", group: "all" })

      giving

      {
      "cursor" : "BtreeCursor indices.text_1_lc_1_group_1",
      "nscanned" : 244471,
      "nscannedObjects" : 244471,
      "n" : 34,
      "millis" : 6211,
      "nYields" : 6,
      "nChunkSkips" : 0,
      "isMultiKey" : true,
      "indexOnly" : false,
      "indexBounds" :

      { "indices.text" : [ [ "le", "le" ] ], "lc" : [ [ "fra", "fra" ] ], "group" : [ [ "all", "all" ] ] }

      }

      but

      > db.Example.find({ "indices.text":

      { $all: [ "suivant", "le", "mois" ] }

      , lc: "fra", group: "all" }).explain();
      {
      "cursor" : "BtreeCursor indices.text_1_lc_1_group_1",
      "nscanned" : 1948,
      "nscannedObjects" : 1948,
      "n" : 34,
      "millis" : 102,
      "nYields" : 0,
      "nChunkSkips" : 0,
      "isMultiKey" : true,
      "indexOnly" : false,
      "indexBounds" :

      { "indices.text" : [ [ "suivant", "suivant" ] ], "lc" : [ [ "fra", "fra" ] ], "group" : [ [ "all", "all" ] ] }

      }

      I can manually re-order my inputs to the $all putting longest strings first, but perhaps Mongo should have similar logic built in since longer strings should naturally be less common and therefore need less scanning?
