Abstract
Systems, methods, and software described herein provide graph searching via index vertices. In one implementation, a graph management system may receive a request to identify vertices of a first vertex type in a graph, wherein the request defines one or more attributes associated with the vertices. In response to the request, the graph management system may identify one or more index vertices associated with the one or more attributes, wherein the one or more index vertices is associated with one or more second vertex types. The graph management system may further identify the vertices in the graph with edges that couple to the one or more index vertices.
