But until then I could outline some information here:
So, there are two #query methods, one with and one w/o key. The one with the key parses the query you enter, assuming that everything is about that property key, f.ex if you've added: index.add( node, "name", "Mattias Persson" ); to a fulltext index and then query (remember that fulltext index lower-cases everything by default): index.query( "name", "matt*" ); // or index.query( "name", "matt* OR persson" ); it will query for matt* (or matt* OR persson) values for the "name" property. Using the other method you can do the same thing: index.query( "name:matt*" ); index.query( "name:matt* OR name:persson" ); _but_ you can also query stuff from different property keys in one query, making compound queries possible, like: index.query( "name:matt* AND profession:hacker" ); > > Can anyone shed any light on how all this stuff works in the context of > fulltext?

The difference between fulltext and exact is the way the added values are tokenized. The exact index doesn't do any tokenization, just puts the values as one value, whereas fulltext index tokenizes the added values into individual words and indexes those separately. > > Thanks, > > > > Rick > > > > _______________________________________________ > Neo4j mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user > -- Mattias Persson, [[email protected]] Hacker, Neo Technology www.neotechnology.com _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list [email protected] https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
