One of the great advantages to using GraphXR with Neo4j is full text search. Why type a query when a keyword will suffice? Setup for keyword search is simple. Here’s how it’s done. Get started with GraphXR today at https://graphxr.kineviz.com

1. Enabling Full Text Search
by Configuring the Keyword Index
delve deeper

2. In order to use keyword search in GraphXR with a Neo4j database* you need to define which labels and
properties will be available for search.
*Neo4j 3.5+. For older versions, refer to https://neo4j-contrib.github.io/neo4j-apoc-procedures/#fulltext-index

3. Click “Config Search Index” to begin. (To recreate the database I use in this example, visit
https://www.slideshare.net/SonyGreen1/data-injection-to-neo4j-with-graphxr-quick-easy-and-codefree.)

4. If you’re familiar with Neo4j, you can configure search availability via the Cypher code window. Visit
https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/performance/index-configuration/fulltext-search/ to learn more.

5. Alternatively, you can simply check the box next to any property you’d like to make searchable.

6. Avoid selecting more properties than you need. The more searchable properties, the longer search takes.

7. Once you’ve selected the properties you want, click “Submit Indexing Job”

8. Indexing can take a few seconds or several minutes depending on the amount of data and the number of
properties designated as searchable. Once your Index is complete, click “Save”...

9. ...and return to your project.

10. You’re now ready to take advantage of keyword search!
