LIKE clause in Neo4j Cypher queries

Question

It seems that Neo4j does not support LIKE clause. When I run the following query, it returns the syntax error. Is there any equivalent of the LIKE clause in Neo4j?

MATCH (d:Disease) WHERE d.node_label LIKE '%Parkinson%' RETURN d;

Answer 1

You can use the CONTAINS clause instead of the LIKE clause for the above query.

Here is the cypher query with the CONTAINS clause:

MATCH (d:Disease) WHERE d.node_label CONTAINS 'Parkinson' RETURN d;
