Substructure Similarity Search in Graph Databases

Summary: Grafil enables substructure similarity search in graphs via indexed, feature-based filtering. Mapping edge relaxation to allowed missing features, it uses a multi-filter of complementary feature sets to prune candidates before comparisons. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
