Google App Engine / ワイルドカード検索

　部分一致検索はできないようだが、擬似的に行うことができる。
ただ、これも unicode がからむと少々注意が必要

下記を参考に helloworld.py にてテストしたが、
　#!-*- coding:utf-8 -*-　がきいているためか、

　ＯＫ
 greetings = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Greeting where content >= :1 and content < :2 ", 
            search_key, search_key + u"\uFFFD" )
　ＮＧ
# greetings = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Greeting where content >= :1 and content < :2 ",     #             search_key, urllib.unquote(search_key).decode("utf8") + u"\uFFFD" )

Tip: Query filters do not have an explicit way to match just part of a string value, but you can fake a prefix match using inequality filters:

db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM MyModel WHERE prop >= :1 AND prop < :2", "abc", "abc" + "\xEF\xBF\xBD")

This matches every MyModel entity with a string property prop that begins with the characters abc. The byte string "\xEF\xBF\xBD" represents the largest possible Unicode character. When the property values are sorted in an index, the values that fall in this range are all of the values that begin with the given prefix.

Next problem is that I can't search the datastore with a parameter
from the query string, something like this:

import urllib

q = "Ambj%C3%B6" # Url encoded u"Ambjö"

fsgs = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Fsg WHERE fsg >= :1 AND fsg < :2", urllib.unquote(q), urllib.unquote(q) + u'\uFFFD')

Works perfect if I only have ascii characters. Is urllib.unquote wrong
utility for this?

> q = "Ambj%C3%B6" # Url encoded u"Ambjö"
> fsgs = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM Fsg WHERE fsg >= :1 AND fsg < :2", > urllib.unquote(q), urllib.unquote(q) + u'\uFFFD')

You've got a similar problem as before. The string urllib.unquote()
returns isn't a Unicode string either, so you need to convert it to
Unicode. Eg:
urllib.unquote(q).decode("utf8") + u"\uFFFD"
