I know I have little objects to traverse, but I was more currious on how to handle on a larger set of object. What has made me consider Neo is the seamless way to enrich my data-set with new relations as I progress. My idea is to add relations to represent aspects of the objects that can be searched for. For example: one day I create a crawler that will update notes do map the model number to some feature (say the number of doors the car has). Then I can extend my UI to allow users to search for that criteria too (in an ad-hoc manner). In such a case adding lucene indexes may not be that easy. If the graph has huge, maybe it would make since to start traversal from the nodes that will yield the smallest starting graph.
