Hi i successfully upgraded my self hosted appwrite from 1.4.3 to 1.5.4 yesterday but now i get errors when i try to create a fulltext search index on an array
error: fulltext index forbidden on array attributes
TL;DR
Title: Forbidden Fulltext Search on Array Attributes
Messages:
- Developers should now use Query.contains instead of Query.search for searching an array attribute, as the former is more efficient.
- The previous method was removed in a certain version.
- No index is required to use Query.contains. 
I think the only reason to set a fulltext search index on an array would be to do a Query.search. Instead of using Query.search you now need to use Query.contains. As far as I know you don't need an index to use Query.contains.
It was a bit hacky so it was removed in that version. As @WhiteWalker72 said, now it's better using contains query
thank you
