While SearchableModel itself is rather limited the principle behind it can be improved a lot. We'd be willing to sell our "search" app (currently, only for Django, but webapp is planned). It comes with: * ability to only index certain properties (instead of all string properties as with Searchable

+1, it would be great if Search API could be provided. I have been using the Searchable Model for quite sometime, and it fits to my basic needs, but i know a search engine that has made the expectations of people really high, as soon as they see a search box :-) -- Pranav Prakash On Apr 30, 8:45

What about Yahoo! Boss? You can restrict it to search a site, and while not documented, has functionality such as inurl and inpath which you could use to push out the specific data you need. The one trick would be to make sure Yahoo searches the proper path, but I'm sure there's ways to get that i

I second the opinion that proper full text search should have been in the road map. My app soon will need fulltext searching. I'm considering dumping all the data in google base and "forwarding" the searching against the google base api. I wonder if I'd be violating google base terms of service or

I concur also. I expected to see "Search API" right next to "Datastore API" when I started working with GAE. It makes sense and fits the model; offer some for free and then charge for more. I would think a Search API that leveraged Google's search infrastructure would be GAE's killer app. Howe
