Webadmin to add property and be available in index search

[Newbie]

If somehow a node is missing an indexed property I need and I would
like to add this property to the node in Webadmin, how would I add the
value of this property to the index and have this node be searchable
via this indexed property value?

Thanks,

If you have configured auto indexing for the property key you're setting it will be indexed automatically. Otherwise you'll have to set and index it manually. I don't know how you do that through webadmin, but look here for how to do it via the REST API: http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/rest-api.html

You can also use the neo4j-shell in webadmin to add nodes to indexes.

hi michael,

Is there any documentation or can you give an example on how to do this? I have similar issues that I need to update some values manually via webadmin.

I am using SDN to define my node. Once an object is persisted, I want to change the value of an indexed property. Once changed via webadmin, I cannot find the node with the new value, but still can find it with the old indexed value. I believe it is because the index is not updated. My object is like this:

@NodeEntity

public class User {

   @GraphyId

   private Long id;

   @Indexed

   private String userId;

   ...

}

If I change an existing User node's "userId" property in webadmin, say from "notog" to "notog123", how do I re-index this node so that I can use the value "notog123" with the index to find this node. 

Much appreciated if you could provide some insight. The Neo4j version is 1.8.

Right,

the indexed value is only updated if you change the property via SDN,

if you change it via cypher / webadmin shell it isn't.

You have to reindex it yourself either using the Neo4j Template, Java API, REST API or the Shell:

Neo4j Template: http://static.springsource.org/spring-data/data-graph/snapshot-site/reference/html/#d5e1050 and http://static.springsource.org/spring-data/data-graph/snapshot-site/reference/html/#d5e1086

Java API: http://static.springsource.org/spring-data/data-graph/snapshot-site/reference/html/#d5e641, http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/tutorials-java-embedded-index.html

REST API  http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/rest-api-indexes.html

Shell http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/shell-commands.html#_indexing

Hi,

If you're using Cypher then until 2.0 you won't be able to create indexes with it. Instead I suggest you configure auto indexes while you're learning Neo4j.

See:

http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/auto-indexing.html#auto-indexing-config

Now when you create a node in Cypher you can have it indexed.
