This tutorial uses NoSQLZoo data but is based on Cypher documentation, available [https://neo4j.com/docs/developer-manual/current/cypher/clauses/match/#basic-node-finding here].

==Get All Nodes==
<div class="q" data-lang="neo4j">
By just specifying a pattern with a single node and no labels, all nodes in the graph will be returned.
<pre class="def"><nowiki>
MATCH (n)
RETURN n;</nowiki></pre>
</div>

==Get All Nodes With a Label==
<div class="q" data-lang="neo4j">
Getting all nodes with a label on them is done with a single node pattern where the node has a label on it.<br/>
This query returns the names of all the gods in the graph.<br/>
Alternative syntax: <code>MATCH (n) WHERE n:God RETURN n;</code>
<pre class="def"><nowiki>
MATCH (n:God)
RETURN n.name;</nowiki></pre>
</div>

==Related Nodes==
<div class="q" data-lang="neo4j">
The Symbol <code>--</code> means ''related to'', without regard to type of direction of the relationship.
<p class="strong">Return all direct (one jump) relations of Zeus.</p>
<pre class="def"><nowiki>
MATCH (:God {name: "Zeus"})--(relative)
RETURN relative.name;</nowiki></pre>
</div>

==Match With Labels==
<div class="q" data-lang="neo4j">
To constrain your pattern with labels on nodes, you add it to your pattern nodes, using the label syntax.
<p class="strong">Return all direct (one jump) relations of Zeus where the relative is a plain old Mortal.</p>
<pre class="def"><nowiki>
MATCH (:God {name: "Zeus"})--(relative:Mortal)
RETURN relative.name;</nowiki></pre>
</div>

==Relationship Basics==
<div class="q" data-lang="neo4j">
When the direction of a relationship is of interest, it is shown by using <code>--></code> or <code><--</code>, like this:
<p class="strong">Return all direct relations of Zeus where the relation is incoming.</p>
<pre class="def"><nowiki>
MATCH (:God {name: "Zeus"})<--(relative)
// Same result: MATCH (relative)-->(:God {name: "Zeus"})
RETURN relative.name;</nowiki></pre>
</div>
