A search for Majoron-emitting modes of the neutrinoless double beta decay ofis performed with the full EXO-200 dataset. This dataset consists of a totalexposure of, and includes data with detector upgrades that have improved the energy threshold relative to previous searches. A lower limit ofat 90% C.L. on the half-life of the spectral indexMajoron decay was obtained, a factor of 3.6 more stringent than the previous limit from EXO-200 and a factor of 1.6 more stringent than the previous best limit from KamLAND-Zen. This limit corresponds to a constraint on the Majoron-neutrino coupling constant of. The lower threshold and the additional data taken resulted in a factor 8.4 improvement for themode compared to the previous EXO-200 search. This search provides the most stringent limits to date on the Majoron-emitting decays ofwith spectral indices, 2, 3, and 7.
