How to do search on Google App Engine?

3 pointsstener17y ago1 comments

I'm trying to hack around GAE search functionality, because something LIKE %query% is not supported and only whole words are indexed in strings, so again no support for substring queries.

I found advice for more relevant search that basically says to derive the substrings myself, put them in a list a query this StringList.

Please, do you know other algorithm? Thanks

db.search.SearchableModel

class SearchableModel(db.Model):

"""A subclass of db.Model that supports full text search and indexing. Automatically indexes all string-based properties. To search, use the all() method to get a SearchableModel.Query, then use its search() method.
