Parallel Node Search

Utility to find nodes in parallel (if possible). These procedures return a single list of nodes or a list of 'reduced' records with node id, labels, and the properties where the search was executed upon.

Qualified Name Type

apoc.search.node

Do a parallel search over multiple indexes returning nodes. usage apoc.search.node( map of label and properties which will be searched upon, operator: EXACT | CONTAINS | STARTS WITH | ENDS WITH, searchValue ) returns all the DISTINCT Nodes found in the different searches.

Procedure

apoc.search.nodeAll

Do a parallel search over multiple indexes returning nodes. usage apoc.search.nodeAll( map of label and properties which will be searched upon, operator: EXACT | CONTAINS | STARTS WITH | ENDS WITH, searchValue ) returns all the Nodes found in the different searches.

Procedure

apoc.search.nodeReduced

Do a parallel search over multiple indexes returning a reduced representation of the nodes found: node id, labels and the searched properties. apoc.search.nodeReduced( map of label and properties which will be searched upon, operator: EXACT | CONTAINS | STARTS WITH | ENDS WITH, searchValue ). Multiple search results for the same node are merged into one record.

Procedure

apoc.search.nodeAllReduced

Do a parallel search over multiple indexes returning a reduced representation of the nodes found: node id, labels and the searched property. apoc.search.nodeShortAll( map of label and properties which will be searched upon, operator: EXACT / CONTAINS / STARTS WITH | ENDS WITH / = / <> / < / > …​, value ). All 'hits' are returned.

Procedure

These procedures are passed the following parameters:

labelPropertyMap

'{ label1 : "propertyOne", label2 :["propOne","propTwo"] }'

(JSON or MAP) For every Label-Property combination a search will be executed in parallel (if possible): Label1.propertyOne, label2.propOne and label2.propTwo.

searchType

'exact' or 'contains' or 'starts with' or 'ends with'

Case insensitive string search operators

searchType

"<", ">", "=", "<>", "⇐", ">=", "=~"

Operators

search

'Keanu'

The actual search term (string, number, etc).
example
CALL apoc.search.nodeAll('{Person: "name",Movie: ["title","tagline"]}','contains','her') YIELD node AS n RETURN n
call apoc.search.nodeReduced({Person: 'born', Movie: ['released']},'>',2000) yield id, labels, properties RETURN *
