Hi Venkatesh,
When you say you have just one index, does that mean you set all the
other properties to be unindexed? If not, you could have other indexes
that are adding to your total. What kind of data is stored in the
__search_text_index property and what would you say the average size
of that data is if it is text data or number of properties if it is a
multi-property field and how many unique values would you guess that
that property contains? Since you're using that property twice in the
index, my guess would be that you've got some kind of multiplier
effect going kinda like an exploding index (
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/queriesandindexes.html#Big_Entities_and_Exploding_Indexes).
I'm curious to see what your answers are to these questions since I
think a lot of us are interested in watching our data usage.

Stephen
