Hello, I am wondering if text search is actually on the official road map and if so when it will be available. If not, would it make sense to start a google code project to do our own implementation? I am thinking of something simple and light without the need of lots of jar. I think it is quite

Yes full text search is on the road map. It can't be far away because some of the implementation has already slipped into the current release. See the protected method Query.setFullTextSearch() On 6 Apr 2010, at 16:04, Toby wrote: Hello, I am wondering if text search is actually on the

another way is to implement a full-text search yourself... implementing this would work: http://www.miislita.com/term-vector/term-vector-3.html (use tri-grams instead of full words as tokens) i would recommend low-level datastore api for that, also, your index term entities will blow up beyond

I am using compass as well and it works fine. The indexing part is costly and you might need to do task queue if you reindex large amount of data. Starting the search manager is slow and it happens a lot due to the suspend policy. You can also take a look at this project:

Haha, like many of us you probably thought that GOOGLE app engine would have decent text search capabilities. It looks like your doing all you can do by creating the inverse table, you may just want to star http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=217 On Mar 13, 8:59 pm,

Interesting to see the existence protected Query.setFullTextSearch(String) method when you open the Query class in Eclipse. I suppose it won't be too far away. I can't wait to see if they just give us a take-it-or-leave-it solution or also the tools required to roll your own. On 14 Mar
