Module 4
Using Full-text Indexes in Neo4j
Module overview
A full-text index is based upon string values only, but provides additional search capabilities that you do not get from RANGE or TEXT indexes that you have just learned about. A full-text schema index can be used for:
- Full definition for node (opens in a new tab)A vertex in a graph. In a property graph it can carry labels and properties. or Full definition for relationship (opens in a new tab)A named, directed connection between two nodes. Every relationship has a type, a start node and an end node. Full definition for property (opens in a new tab)A named value stored on a node or a relationship..
- Single property or multiple properties.
- Single or multiple types of nodes (Full definition for label (opens in a new tab)A tag on a node that groups it with other nodes of the same kind. A node can carry more than one.).
- Single or multiple types of relationships.
One difference with full-text indexes in Neo4j is that you must explicitly specify their use whereas regular indexes are automatically used.
In this module, you will:
- Learn about using full-text indexes in Neo4j and why you would use them.
- Create a full-text index.
- Use a full-text index.
