The $match inside $lookup pipeline has no relation with the jobCollection documents. It only filters the documents for tasks collection. So, You have to use one more $match stage after the $lookup to filter out the ROOT(jobCollection) documents.
jobCollection.aggregate([
{ "$match": { "$text": { "$search": "1234" }}},
{ "$lookup": {
"from": "task",
"let": { "job_id": "$_id" },
"pipeline": [
{ "$match": {
"$expr": {
"$and": [
{ "$eq": ["$job", "$$job_id"] },
{ "$eq": ["$status", "FAILED"] }
]
}
}}
],
"as": "tasks"
}},
{ "$match": { "tasks": { "$ne": [] }}},
])
