I finished my conversion over to IndexTank and it has been running in production for a few days now. It is too early to make grand pronouncements but I am really happy with the performance so far, especially compared to what I was using before. The faceting abilities are really nice for generating reports on the types of data I am storing. I used their jQuery auto-complete plugin to give my users a better search experience and it was really easy to get integrated.
I am still definitely looking forward to the official GAE full text search and especially how it will integrate with models and queries.
