Brandon, I humbly suggest you just haven't hit an edge case yet. There are plenty of indexing problems which GAE simply doesn't offer a solution to. When I am forced to think about "does polygon A overlap with polygon B?", I look for R-tree indexes... which GAE doesn't offer. There are a million spatial index functions which are no-brainers in PostGIS but represent man-years of work on GAE. And of course there's fulltext indexing. GAE gets more features every month, which is great. The magic anti-exploding-index queries recently added are a godsend. Fulltext indexing is on its way. And I'll be jumping up and down in happiness when true spatial indexes show up. But let's not pretend that GAE is complete. And let's make sure Google knows it when they make missteps like pricing large instances unreasonably or offering halfway email solutions that do little more than generate complaints on this list.
