Neo4j index query with regex

问题

I am trying to get likers for some artists through an index on Name :

START n=node:Artist(Name =~ 'Michael*.')
MATCH n<-[:LIKES]-liker
return liker.Id, n.Label
LIMIT 50

And I have this error : Invalid query string literal or parameter expected "START n=node:ArtistId(Name =~ 'Michael*.')"

I am wondering how can I use regex in index query? I know I can use regex in match but I don't know how can I use regex in START.

Thanks for your help

回答1:

You can't use normal regex syntax, but you can use wildcards:

START n=node:Artist('Name:Michael*')

Edit:

Neo4J uses Apache Lucene for index queries. You have a few other cool things you can do in addition to wildcards.
