How can I show all nodes and relationships in Data Browser tab?

What are sample index queries that I can type in in search field?

You may also want to try a cypher query such as:

START n=node(*) RETURN n;

It's very obvious, and it will return all the existing nodes in the database.

EDIT : the following displays the nodes and the relationships :

START n=node(*) MATCH (n)-[r]->(m) RETURN n,r,m;

it only return node,adding match n-[r]-() and return n,r to see further relationship – Huei Tan Jan 03 '13 at 15:56
Completely forgot about the relationships! – pimguilherme Apr 16 '13 at 03:11
With version 1.9.5 (I MUST use that) it returns the nodes, but it does NOT show them... – tonjo Jan 10 '15 at 12:14

Just to note this only matches nodes that have a relationship. If you want all use `START n=node(*) MATCH (n)-[r]->(m),(o) RETURN n,r,m,o;` – geotheory Oct 28 '17 at 22:26

More simple way is

MATCH (n) RETURN (n)

This is the proper way to produce all nodes and then the Data Browser Tab will magically add the relationships to the view. – The Demz Sep 26 '19 at 09:08

You can show everything with simple MATCH (n) RETURN n, as offical documentation suggests.

START n=node(*) RETURN n from Neo4j 2.0 is deprecated:

The START clause should only be used when accessing legacy indexes (see Chapter 34, Legacy Indexing). In all other cases, use MATCH instead (see Section 10.1, “Match”).

There is a little help icon beside the search field, if you hoover over it it shows the syntax.

If a property of your nodes and relationships is indexed you can search for all of them like this.

node:index:indexname:fieldname:*
rels:index:indexname:fieldname:*

I found that this worked, retrieving all nodes including orphans, and all relationships:

MATCH (n) MATCH ()-[r]->() RETURN n, r

As far as I can tell, that is a horrible query, since you don't include the match n node in the second match. It would probably end up with a Cartesian product returns A LOT of redundant data. Might I suggest: ```cypher MATCH (n) OPTIONAL MATCH (n)-[r]-(m) RETURN n,r,m ``` – larsw Oct 27 '17 at 08:27

Other good way for get ALL nodes (and nodes without relationship) :

MATCH (n) RETURN n UNION START n = rel(*) return n;
