Apparently the datastore doesn't support wildcard queries. As long as the query just has a trailing %, I suppose you could emulate them with combined >= and < filters, but what would you specify for the < filter ?
Let's say you have a search string like search = u'abc' I can think of two ways to do this: >= search AND < search + u'\U0010ffff' which will not work if one of your matches begins with search+u'\U0010ffff' but that is very unlikely...
And the other solution is >= search AND < search[:-1] + unichr(ord(search[-1])+1) -Ulrich
As an aside, I'm rather puzzled by the limitations of the query language, compared with SQL. Are there any resources explaining these limitations and pssible workarounds..?
