Question

I’m finishing up a project, and I have run into a snag using python on google app engine.
I have an app that keeps note entries. I would like to be able to search these entries, and I am using this link:

https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/search/overview

I am able to save documents, search them, delete them, etc. Everything is working, but I can’t see any info on how to parse the SearchResults into a template.

Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks!

Answer 1

the easiest way to do is to use the entity keys as keys for the search documents.

doc = search.Document(doc_id=<entity_key_as_string>, fields=fields)

then make the search query and return only the entity keys:

options = search.QueryOptions(ids_only=True)
query   = search.Query(query_string=query_string, options=options)

and then get the entities from the datastore and render the template.
