The type of "full text search" sample that I would be interested in seeing demonstrated in tutorials or libraries for Google App Engine, would be searching across 1 or 2 fields (Title, Summary) of a small index (less than 1000 records, persisted to GAE updateable datastore) to power an autocomplete control eg. using Google Closure Library autocomplete (http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/ goog/demos/autocompleteremote.html). So performance would be key for autocomplete, perhaps using Memcache for this small dataset. And with an aspect of "fuzzy search" to allow user friendly autocomplete behaviour. Then more extensive full text search could be powered by Google Custom Search, with a Linked CSE (search definition) hosted on Google App Engine. So for public content only, indexed by Google. Then I suppose it's playing to the strengths of the different offerings ie. using GAE for the lighter/AJAX type searching scenarios, and Google Custom Search for a richer index.
