Queries in Linkurious: These improvements just made your graph exploration easier

At Linkurious, it’s our mission to make graph more accessible to a greater number of users - and we’re always improving how we do that. 

Queries are a powerful tool for users to accelerate and automate their investigation processes. Recent improvements in Linkurious have made queries even more practical and user-friendly for users exploring their graph, no matter their use case. Here’s a quick look at those improvements - and what’s coming next.

We’ve made improvements to query management features, based on feedback from our customers.

Users now have easier access to queries in Linkurious. They can be accessed directly from the right-hand panel. 

In addition to this, users can also now edit, delete, view details, and load in editor the queries they can see in the right-hand panel, facilitating query management.

You don’t always need all your queries for every part of your graph. Now, when you select a part of your graph you’ll get a list of suggested queries you can run with the given graph selection.

Now, you can have quick access to your favorite queries in Linkurious to make your investigations even more efficient. Right click on a query to set it as a favorite. Users’ favorite queries appear with a visual cue in the right-hand queries panel. They are also accessible via the “Favorites” button at the bottom of the queries panel.

It’s now easier to organize queries for your organization using tags for queries. By assigning tags to your queries, you can find them more easily by applying filters. On the other hand, it also makes it easier to hide irrelevant queries and reduce the noise in the query panel.

The code editor in Linkurious now comes with a Cypher autocomplete feature, enhancing the editor’s functionality and helping users write queries more quickly and accurately. There are several improvements included in this update:

• Suggesting Cypher keywords & functions: When users start typing a query, Cypher keywords and functions will be suggested as they begin typing. This lets even users who aren’t fluent in Cypher start creating queries.
• Schema aware: The query editor is now schema aware, meaning users have access to the list of node categories and edge types while writing queries. Users now have less information to look up as they write queries, all while avoiding issues like spelling errors.

Even more query improvements are on the way. Keep an eye out for our no-code query builder, coming soon to Linkurious!
