Text Search api not working on my production app

[FastGeert]

Hi,

today I started using the Text Search API to create a search functionality in my app.

While everything works just fine on the dev server, whatever api call to the Text Search API results in an InvalidRequest exception on my production app.

remove ===> fails

search ===> fails

add ===> fails

Do I need to perform a special action to use the Text Search API in production or am I missing something else ?

Regards, Geert.

Hi,

You don't need any special permissions to start using the experimental Search API. Could you provide your app-id or sample code? 


Thanks,

Christina

Hi,

this is the code I wrote:

from google.appengine.api import search

SERVICE_INDEX = "__SERVICE_INDEX__"

SERVICE_LOCATION_INDEX = "__SERVICE_LOCATION_INDEX__"

....

svc_index = search.Index(name=SERVICE_INDEX)

loc_index = search.Index(name=SERVICE_LOCATION_INDEX)

# cleanup any previous index entry

email = service.email()

svc_index.remove([email])

cursor = search.Cursor()

while True:

    query = search.Query(query_string="service:%s" % email, options=search.QueryOptions(cursor=cursor, limit=10))

    search_result = loc_index.search(query)

    loc_index.remove([r.doc_id for r in search_result.results])

    if search_result.number_found != 10:

        break

    cursor = search_result.cursor

# re-add if necessary

sc, locs = get_search_config(service)

if not sc.enabled:

    return

svc_index.add(search.Document(doc_id=email,

    fields=[search.TextField(name='service', value=email),

            search.TextField(name='name', value=profile.name),

            search.TextField(name='description', value=profile.description),

            search.TextField(name='keywords', value=sc.keywords)]))

Could you confirm that your application use the High Replication datastore

The Search API does not work with the deprecated master/slave datastore

hi,

I believe the issue may be with your index names, specifically the underscores.  Can you try defining them without the underscores, e.g.

SERVICE_INDEX = "SERVICE_INDEX"

SERVICE_LOCATION_INDEX = "SERVICE_LOCATION_INDEX"

and let me know if that works for you in production?

To follow up -- this is almost certainly the source of your problem.  Any name that is of the form __(.*)__ is considered reserved.  I've filed issues to document this restriction, and to improve the error reporting when there is an attempt to define such an index.

Thanks for reporting that.

Hi Amy,

I can confirm your analysis. Removing the underscores from the index name did the trick.

Thnx for your help,

Regards, Geert.
