Hi Steve, Within the Python 3 runtime, some GAE services that were previously bundled were removed ot support a full idiomatic Python experience[1] and is recommended to migrate to the recommended solution of ElasticSearch on GCE[2]. There is currently a feature request on our public issue tracker[3] requesting the Search API to be made available in Python 3.x. As it is a feature request, there is no timeline nor any guarantee it will be implemented in the future. We recommend to star this feature request to receive any future updates and also upvote the issue to increase invisibility.
