In-Depth Information
The label that specifies the schema index to use is defined as part of the node identifier,
separated by a colon . You must put the node identifier with the associated label inside

it's done in SQL
.

search, you'll have to use manually created indexes as discussed in the previous section.
You now know how to use an index to look up nodes in the

clause of a Cypher
query. But what if you want to fix multiple nodes on your graph pattern when executing
a Cypher query and match them separately? What if you want to find all movies that both

Multiple start nodes in Cypher
To specify multiple entry points to the graph, you can use a comma-separated list in the
start
clause of the Cypher query, as the following snippet illustrates:
