Replicating Neo4j browser autocomplete feature in cypher expression

I am trying to replicate the "autocomplete" functionality of the neo4j browser interface using just a cypher request. A successful implementation would mean that if the request is made in a browser, then enabling the autocomplete button will have no effect, since all the "additional relationships" are specified in the request.

I am using a browser to prototype the requests and then use RNeo4j to implement them. Ideally, I would like the RNeo4j result to match the browser result, including autocomplete.

As an example, consider a query:

`MATCH p = (n:label1 {name:'tom'})-[r*2..3]-(n:label1 {name:'jerry'})
RETURN p`

In a browser with autocomplete disabled, I only get what I asked for (as expected), whereas when autocomplete is turned on, I get all relationships between any nodes in the path where there is no node "tom" or "jerry".

I tried to use WITH

and then the second one MATCH

after the first one MATCH

, but that does not give the required results.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

the autocomplete function makes another call to get the relationship between all node ids it currently has



match a-[r]-b where id(a) in [1,2...] and id(b) in [1,2,3...] return r
