right

Generic Description

Returns the rightmost characters from a string. It is documented separately because text normalization and slicing often become grouping keys, search inputs, or exported identifiers.

Simple example:

RETURN right('Runbook-v2', 2) AS suffix

Consumer-Level Explanation

Use it for suffix checks such as version endings, file extensions, or trailing code fragments. Prefer this function when the text operation is part of the query contract and should be visible during review.

More Detailed Explanation

right runs inside the row pipeline, which makes text cleanup, extraction, and grouping keys visible to Nexyron instead of hidden in application code. That is especially important for imported document metadata, labels, and identifiers that feed later matching or indexing.

Advanced Example

This example applies right while shaping document metadata, so text cleanup is part of the auditable query rather than an application-side afterthought.

MATCH (d:Document)
RETURN d.title AS title, right(d.title, 4) AS title_suffix
ORDER BY title_suffix

Real Use Cases

• normalizing document titles and source identifiers before grouping
• extracting prefixes, suffixes, or tokens from imported text fields
• checking payload size or Unicode normalization before ingestion cleanup

Real Limitations And Tradeoffs

• query-time cleanup is explicit but can hide upstream data-quality debt if overused
• string operations are not semantic search; use vector or semantic procedures for meaning-based matching
• byte length and character length answer different questions and should not be substituted blindly
