I've been trying to get text search working on app engine for some news articles. I followed Brett Slatkin's relation indexing / keys only query technique and I've found that it works great except that I want to get the most recent articles first and I have to add a sort order.
Basically, I can search a single term in reverse order fine and I can search multiple terms without ordering but when I want to search for multiple terms in reverse date order it tells me I need a composite index and I run into the exploding indexes problem. I could try running individual queries and calculating the intersect myself but I dont know how far back to pull articles from in order to get a reasonable number remaining. At the moment I'm stuck with restricting users to search for a single term only. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get around this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
