Question

I am trying to build a search engine in Google App Engine and wants to display the number of results obtained from that search query. I am using fetch() to display few results at a time but dont know how to display the number of results obtained from the search. The count() function has a limit of 1000 only and my results can exceed even 10,00,000. So, if someone know how to do so please suggest me………

Answer 1

As others have told you, count() doesn’t scale efficiently.
To retrieve more than 1000 entities, despite of what the documentation says, you have to specify an upper limit:

your_model.all().count(100000000)
