Azure Cosmos DB Graph Wildcard search

Question

Is it possible to search Vertex properties with a contains in Azure Cosmos Graph DB?

For example, I would like to find all persons which have \'Jr\' in thei

Answer 1

None of the text matching functions are available for CosmosDB at this time. However, I was able to implement a wildcard search functionality by using a UDF (User Defined Function) which uses the Javascript match() function:

function userDefinedFunction(input, pattern) { return input.match(pattern) !== null; };

Then you'd have to write your query as SQL and use the UDF that you defined (the example below assumes you called you function 'REGEX'

SELECT * FROM c where(udf.REGEX(c.name[0]._value, '.*Jr.*') and c.label='person')

The performance will be far from ideal so you need to decide if the solution is acceptable or not based on your latency and cost perspectives.

Answer 2

The Azure team has now implemented Tinkerpop predicates for String

The Azure team has "announced" this to a user here on their feedback website.

I haven't tested all of them, but containing works for me (it is case sensitive though)

g.V().hasLabel('doc').or(__.has('title', containing('truc')), __.has('tags', containing('truc')))
