What's the best strategy to do fulltext search on every node and relationship?

[Noppanit]

As the subject says, what's the best way to index every node and relationship to do fulltext search. I thought of this because, neo4j uses lucene.

Do you need everything searchable with AND and OR or separate fulltext
indexes for every attribute?

Cheers,

Thanks for your reply. I need everyting to be searchable including relationship by AND or OR. That'd be really nice.

Just curious, what is your use-case for that?

Hi,

I was just wondering if i could do that. So, i have nodes and relationships, but i want to implement search functionality like google search. For examples i have nodes that have attribute "title" and each node connected by "owner" relationship and "tag" which connect to node tags of that content which might be tag "owner" When i search for ""owner" i should search through the attribute "title" and for tags as well. I believe i could do that in cypher, but i thought of that if i could use lucene to index relationship name, tags and every attribute for me then i could get relevent nodes back.

Not sure if i'm just talking gibberish.

This is just my curiosity. :)

It sounds like you're only using the index then and not anything in the graph model really. What I'm thinking about is a query parser which translates such a query into a traversal... which sounds a lot like Cypher :)
