Query

Query builds a graph search from visible controls. You do not need to write a query language.

On the Write tab, begin with FIND:

  1. Choose a node type, or leave it as any node.
  2. Add anchor filters when needed.
  3. For each filter, choose a field or property, an available operator, and a value.
  4. Use AND or OR to control how multiple filters combine.

Operators depend on the value type and may include equality, inequality, comparisons, membership, existence, contains, and starts-with.

Enable CONNECTED to find nodes reachable from each anchor. Configure:

  • direction: any, outgoing, or incoming;
  • target node type and edge type;
  • a hop range from 1 to 5;
  • optional filters on target nodes and traversed edge properties;
  • whether every traversed edge or any traversed edge must match edge filters.

A one-hop query checks direct neighbors. Higher ranges can traverse intermediate nodes before reaching the result.

In SHOW, choose a limit from 1 to 200. Scope the query to the whole graph or to a relational layout. Spatial layouts are not query scopes. Then choose an optional sort field—name, type, created, or updated—and its direction.

Choose Run query. Validation stays in the builder when required pieces are missing or incompatible.

The Results tab groups output into Anchors, Connected, and Edges as applicable. Select a row to open that node or relationship. Use More to load another result page when available.

The History panel stores prior project queries. Select one to load its configuration back into the builder; history has no rename, manual save, or delete action.

Queries run at the current project time. If you switch project or viewed time, results from the previous context are hidden until the query runs again.
