How to query for a graph containing a specific node?

[dickens88]

Hi All,

I'm new for Neo4j and graph. I have a dataset which contains 5000+ nodes and edges. Some of the nodes are connected and some are not. Now i want to search for a graph that containing a specific node, that is, a graph the nodes connected one by one and one of them is the node I wanted. is there any one can help me for this task? many thanks.

I think it might help to have a quick look through this guide that explains how to query a dataset:

Neo4j Graph Database Platform

Filtering Query Results - Developer Guides

Building on the Cypher Basics I and II guides, this guide continues with additional concepts of Cypher for filtering and query criteria. Upon finishing this guide, you should be able to filter results on properties and patterns for ranges and other...

And then if anything doesn't make sense, I can try to help explain it.

@markhneedham hi i've walked through the article you shared. it's very helpful. But i still have this question. How to get a subgraph which contains a certain node? I suppose I should use APOC, but cloud you pls give me some more advise? many thanks.

So do you mean you want to get a certain node and then find the sub graph around that node?
