Hi,
I view Gremlin as a first class query language. As such it is more
concerned with what than how.
I reckon
String.contains
String.startsWith
String.endsWith
and some form of regular expression
is so common it would be expected for any query language.
A quick check on neo4j cypher and orientdb sql both support the above.
Cypher also has a case sensitive toggle/expression. Not sure about
Orientdb, probably a 'upper() + like %'
The above predicates have no need for an index. If an index can be used
all the better but either way it should work.
Thanks
Pieter

Because every vendor handles text comparisons differently. Some allow
regular expressions, others don't. Some vendors do case-sensitive matches,
others case-insensitive, etc.

I don't remember why we didn't have predicates for "text" searches?
Marko,
do you remember?

Hi,
Going through the gremlin Predicates I do not see one that is for doing
full text searches.
Have I missed it or is omitted on purpose?
Having both case sensitive and non case-sensitive searches is a common
requirement.
Thanks
Pieter
