Have you set the MONGOHQ_URL environment variable?

The example is not stopping because of the bson error but because it has no URL to connect to.

The article https://www.compose.com/articles/full-text-search-with-mongodb-and-node-js/ covers the (now four years old) example.

perfect! thx. Sorry new to mongo and nodejs. BTW this is a great "tutorial" I was able to more or less copy this to a few webpages I'm writing to incorporate full DB searches. Thx again.
