I do OR queries through the search API all day long and they are always blazingly fast from my perspective. Do you have some numbers you could share regarding the time it takes to do the query?

I have used that method many many times as well. -Chad On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 6:54 AM, Richie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Maybe you can do it in Javascipt on the Browser? > > Richard > > On Dec 2, 3:24 am, "Andrew Badera" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Which reinforces my "it's a GAE problem" stance ...
