Creating and Using Full-text Indexes

A full-text index is designed for queries that need to search string Full definition for property (opens in a new tab)A named value stored on a node or a relationship. using possibly complex search predicates. It can also be created to index multiple properties in multiple Full definition for node (opens in a new tab)A vertex in a graph. In a property graph it can carry labels and properties. 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. 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. types.

In many cases, a full-text index will help improve the performance of queries where the predicates test complex Full definition for pattern (opens in a new tab)A graph structure written in Cypher, such as a node joined to another node by a relationship. in string properties. For example:
