Additional methods on `MongoRepository` take `TextCriteria` as an input parameter. In addition to those explicit methods, it is also possible to add a `TextCriteria`-derived repository method. The criteria are added as an additional `AND` criteria. Once the entity contains a `@TextScore`-annotated property, the document's full-text score can be retrieved. Furthermore, the `@TextScore` annotated also makes it possible to sort by the document's score, as the following example shows:
