The word you are thinking of is trawl.

And the “search thoroughly” meaning for that is current, not archaic.
Re:Amazon DocumentDB, with MongoDB compatibility

Dj from MongoDB here. We have, obviously, been keeping up with this and other threads, but we've also been busy testing out Amazon DocumentDB's correctness and performance. While we're getting that together to bring you an official response in a few days, complete with test results and methodology, I'd like to pick up on a couple of points and some inaccuracies that have been repeated in various threads:
This move shows MongoDB’s approach to document databases is compelling. We’ve thought so for a long time.
A cloud-hosted, truly global and managed MongoDB, MongoDB Atlas, has existed for the last two and a half years and has been serving more and more satisfied users every day with some massive workloads.
MongoDB Atlas runs the full implementation of MongoDB in the cloud.
Many features of MongoDB are documented as not being implemented by DocumentDB: these include change streams, many aggregation operators including $lookup and $graphlookup. But beyond that, well let’s just say we’ve been staggered by how many tests DocumentDB has failed (no spoilers!).
The MongoDB API is not under an Apache license.
MongoDB drivers are still under the Apache license. The MongoDB server used to be licensed under AGPL and is now licensed under SSPL. The source code is open to all, as it has always been, at https://github.com/mongodb/mongo
DocumentDB is not cheaper than MongoDB Atlas. Preliminary estimates show this to only be the case with very large collections and very, very high read/write workloads.
There’ll be more next week over on the MongoDB blogs.

Timestamps on the source code repo seem to date this to July 2009.

I like how he's posting from next May according to the timestamp. And points to an explanation of the difference between open source and free software which is mostly wrong.

What I find intriguing is that apparently, in this age of ubiquitous camera-phones, no-one pulled out their phone and started filming him.
