You can not do exactly what you are asking, but you can get half of it. I am
not sure it is a "best practice" but what I do is:
1) Create another property called stringNameSearch, then when saving an
entity I set that property equal to "marty" (ie stringName.lower()).
2) my filters then look something like: filter('stringNameSearch >=',
'ma').filter('stringNameSearch <', 'ma'+'z').
This will basically get you to the same as LIKE(pattern%), you can not do a
full text search easily in the datastore (ie LIKE(%pattern%)).
Just do some searches for google app engine datastore full text search.
There are a lot of discussions on this topic.
