CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX across multiple nodes

[3bfred]

I have 3 nodes - a:Person, b:Profile and c:Gig. I want to created a full text index in properties a.name, a.bio c.title, c.description 

I've successfully created an index that delivers what seems to be good  results using 

CALL db.index.fulltext.createNodeIndex("FT_Search", ["Person", "Gig", "Profile"], ["name", "title", "user_bio", "description"])

I'm being told that this is deprecated. However, I can't figure out the right syntax for the CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX.

Would be nice if the documentation have an example on this!

Thanks!

I've looked there and it's as clear as mud for me 🙂

It's clear for creating indexes on a single node, but not clear (for me) if >1 node with different property names.

Also, the queryNodes is not fully documented. For example, I want to limit the number of nodes returned and by trial and error I found you can add an extra options parameter with {limit: x} but unless I'm blind that is not documented anywhere.

Her is an example in the text for multiple nodes and properties. Nodes labels are separated by a ‘|’ and properties are specified in a list. 

there is optional configuration map of values, but it doesn’t not provide a description of all the key/value pairs, unless the few discussed in the text is all of them. 

CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX titlesAndDescriptions FOR (n:Movie|Book) ON EACH [n.title, n.description]

Thanks for your quick reply, much appreciated. I did try that but was not convinced it was correct.
