Text Search within data store

[Filosof]

I have made an overview of datastore api and have not found the way
how to perform usual textual search like www.google.com does.. Is it
possible/planned? Or is there any workaround how to perform quick
search for entities on the datastore level?

Real use case for example.
Somebody implemented messaging or notification or notes service and
wants to provide a simple textual search in history..

So I think it would be great feature to mark some property for simple
text-search..

Try searching the archives
http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/search?q=text+search&start=0&scoring=d&

there have been a number of implementations released in recent months,
but all are quite limited much like SearchableModel. But if your
requiremens are basic may work for you.

There are also posts in the language-specific Google groups for App
Engine. The search that Barry suggested only covers the posts from
the general App Engine group. (This is one problem of segregating all
App Engine discussion across multiple language groups.)

I've released an open source full text search module:

There's also a system that's under dual-licensing (free/commercial):

I think both have improved the situation since SearchableModel was the
only alternative.
